This series began with a limitation: one pack of black-and-white Polaroid film. Eight frames. Eight chances.
Working with such tight constraints forced me to slow down and approach the shoot with complete intentionality. Every frame became a deliberate choice — how the fog draped the trail, how the hiker moved through the landscape, how the tones and textures would translate through instant film.
Without the safety net of digital previews or reshoots, I had to rely entirely on instinct, composition, and the raw materials of the moment. The unpredictability of the film, the starkness of the tones, and the honesty of the environment created a kind of storytelling you can’t manufacture.
This project explores how analog techniques can shape modern outdoor commercial photography — not by chasing perfection, but by embracing restraint, simplicity, and the experience of being out there.
These eight frames became a study in craft, patience, and the power of working within limitations.
