STOP MOTION

Chaos captured. Branded storms meet cinematic stillness.

WATER WAVES

Stop motion splash photography isn’t clean—it’s kinetic. The studio floor gets soaked, the shop-vac hums like a ritual drum, and every toss is a gamble with gravity. Electric gear floats above the chaos, cameras wear raincoats, and timing becomes everything.

I’ve developed a series of tossing techniques—each one designed to exhaust the subject’s energy until the image reveals itself. It’s not just about freezing motion. It’s about capturing the moment the splash becomes myth.

For this series, I stayed with the theme: Heineken bottles caught in seaside weather—each splash echoing the city printed on the label. Wind, water, and brand collide in a single frame. Glyphs drift. Shadows pulse. The ritual continues.

London drizzle. Pub wisdom: grab a Heineken.

Each splash is a signature. Each frame, a ritual.

Stop motion isn’t just technique—it’s transformation. The studio floods, the story emerges, and the myth is captured mid-air.

“The pause between frames is where the myth lives.”

Each droplet caught mid-air. Each branded object frozen in motion. This isn’t just photography—it’s choreography. The scroll doesn’t end. It suspends. And in that stillness, the story continues.
