What Are You Looking At? began with a simple proposition: to examine the forces shaping the visual landscape today.
The Brief: Participants were asked to submit three to six images that were informing their creative thinking at that moment. These could be anything from the everyday to the canonical: a tree seen from a studio window, a Renaissance painting, a still from a series watched late into the night, an internet meme, an overlooked fragment, or a fleeting digital glitch. Together, these contributions offered an intimate mapping of what haunts, inspires, or redirects the contemporary gaze.
This resulted in a luxury hand bound suede book. This project produced product photography and behind-the-scenes process imagery, capturing the craft of the object for editorial and commercial use.
