"This is an „off moment“ of a fashion shot. My commissioned work is one thing, my personal view on things is another. I like capturing Off moments. Moments that don’t have anything to do with the situation. I call it selective perception. I am trying to see my own story inside or next to the reality I am in. This can have more or less to do with what really is happening in front of the camera. But in many cases it even amplifies the reality." - Phillip Kaminiak

 

Phillip Kaminiak’s photograph’s look is a mix of classical flash street photography of the 80ies to 90ies, with a slight sense of fashion or portrait photography. The use of flash, small rangefinder cameras, rather wide lenses, a physical closeness to his subjects and 35mm film gives the pictures something raw and glossy at the same time. This has a significant effect on the question you might have standing in front of many of his pictures: „Is it staged or is it documentary“?
