New Work: Tali in the Forest

Steven Perdikis

This series of images was shot very recently, in the last week. I was contacted following the work I completed in the forest previously with Shak and Lakeisha, and was asked if I wanted to collaborate on something with a similar mood, with a different human being, Tali.

We set a date, we organised things – then there was a total fire ban which prevented us from going on that date. So instead, we arranged a different date, and got out on a slightly nicer day where the threat of hell fire wasn’t as imminent.

The images that follow are the outcome of that day. These images were shot primarily on a Nikon Z5, using a combination of the 35mm and 85mm lenses. A few shots were taken on my old, trusty D750, with my vintage Nikkor 105 F2/DC lens, which is one of my favourite lenses. It isn’t very practical however, as it requires a tripod for optimal operation, owing to it not containing any vibration reduction technology.

The below are in no particular order, but there’s a definite narrative thread for the viewer to extract from these images.
