Phone Zombies
Everyone on their phone, everywhere.
Photograph people on their phones in public. The posture, the glazed expression, the physical proximity to other people combined with total mental absence.
How to shoot it: The lit face in low light is the signature frame, so shoot at dusk and after dark when screens glow. Look for the gap between physical closeness and mental absence, a whole bus lit by separate screens, a couple each on their own phone. Shoot from the hip or across the street so nobody performs for you.
The output: A series that will age into a period document.
Camera Settings
