Kaleidoscope Feature · Kris Skopek

As the title suggests, this project is about perception. I’m one of those people that tend to stick with routines and once they learn how to do something one way, they practice only that and don’t try new things. Even more, once I get interested in a topic, I focus only on that. So, through this project, I wanted to overcome myself and make something different.

To change my perception, I worked under various influences. I experimented in a variety of ways to unshackle myself from all rules I’d been taught and had

previously relied upon, even to the point of shooting blindfolded. Just like the locations and objects photographed, the equipment used was picked spontaneously on the spot. Over the past eight months, I have created six mini-series each displaying a distinct narrative. Through Perception I am hoping to encourage others to not be afraid to let go of control and break the preconceived walls of their own perception.
