Compunction is a series of photographs that feel like they were never meant to be seen. Moments that hang heavy with unease, guilt, or the echo of something long buried. Inspired by the unsettling aesthetics of found photos, true crime and the voyeuristic fragments of forgotten lives, these portraits blur the line between documentation and confession.
Compunction invites viewers to sit with discomfort, to explore their own thoughts, fascinations and to question what draws us to images that feel like evidence.
Every image in the series was shot on film and contact printed by hand in the darkroom. There are no enlargements, no reprints—each photograph is truly one of a kind. Once a contact print is made, it will never be printed again.
