The above image is a raw file— straight out of camera with no editing. It was created by shooting with a kit lens— which are very inexpensive and poor quality to begin with— that was made worthless by most anyone’s standard once it grew a fungus inside. I found this flawed treasure on eBay and have been exploring its possibilities over the last year, with this latest shoot being the most successful by far.

The haziness in the images is caused by the fungus which created a colorful glow as @sethmosesmiller twirled a strand of LED lights around @bameliaann during a 5-second exposure. Each shot was different as the colors of the lights changed and struck the sensor in a unique combination. I’m excited to keep exploring the possibilities.
