The Method
Each image began as a physical set: cardboard cut-outs, household props and carefully aimed overhead projectors.
Live figures were placed inside the set and the whole thing was photographed in a single iPhone exposure, with selective colour added later. The limits were useful. If the UFO looked as though it came from a kitchen cupboard, that was because it did.
Ed Wood Jr. and 1950s invasion films were the permission slip. The visible seams are part of the work, not something that survived by accident.

The Aesthetic
The eleven images form a loose story of invasion and reclamation. It is suburban anxiety dressed as B-movie camp, which is cheaper than therapy and photographs better.
