ghosting

This piece was taken on a disposable film camera in my bedroom. It was a picture of my friend but they are covered up by a drawing of a ghost. The idea to do this was inspired from Phoebe Bridges’ album cover for “Stranger in the Alps” along with ghost pictures being a big trend at the time that I made this. Disposable cameras are one of my favourite ways to take photos as they have a unique look to them and the photos often feels much more personal to me because of the time and effort of taking photos on something other than a phone and having to develop them before you can even see what they look like. Another thing I love about this image is my picture wall in the background which is a collection of posters, paper, and pictures I’ve accumulated over years. The printed image of “ghosting” is now also added to that same photo wall in the image itself.
