Most of the time my work is slow.
I’m building a frame piece by piece. Moving lights around, tweaking reflections, making small adjustments until everything sits right. It can take hours to get one image where I want it.
But then there are moments like this.
Henri Cartier Bresson talked about the decisive moment. That split second where everything just lines up and you either catch it or you don’t.
This wasn’t planned at all. I was just standing there watching my girlfriend’s cat eye up the gap between these two trailers with my camera in hand. I had a feeling it was coming so I stayed ready. Then it happened. One quick jump and it was over.
No control, no perfect setup, just instinct and timing.
It’s a completely different feeling from the work I usually do, but in a lot of ways it’s more fun. It brings me back to why I started shooting in the first place.
