VISCERAL

by Jordan Laboucane

When I am behind the camera it is tapping into the present moment and flow of life. Everything in the peripherals tends to fade away, perspective narrows and you tune in. The consciousness and awareness of your mind narrows as you focus into the present moment. The camera reminds me of the fact that the present moment is all that there ever is. Being behind the lens is to really recognize the visceral, to truly feel what is in front of you; without thinking. The result being that what is captured is that temporal visceral feeling that you the photographer were feeling in that very specific moment in time.
