While it may it be possible to fall in love with a portrait, moving and still, the heartbreak is that we are always kept at a distance from this romance. The intimacy and closeness we are able to experience is always untouchable. In front of the glass door of a picture frame or the canvas of a painting, we are only allowed to look. We cannot smell the sea, or feel the wind but still we are there. When asked to spend 4½ mins lost in a stare, the connection to our subject and backdrop grows. The mystery and curiosity begs us to know more and wait for change, if any at all.

Inspired by Andy Warhol's "Screen Test" Series, this experiential picture was created as a reexamination of portraitures most fundamental elements; subject and setting. Shot on 16mm over the course of a full 4 & 1/2 min sunset, the goal was to capture and archive a living, breathing moment with our subject in time - a motion picture.
