Nowhere 2016
If Burning Man is a dusty city with 80,000 inhabitants, then Nowhere is a dusty village with just 2,000. I like it that way. This was my third time, having missed 2015’s 50 degree heatwave, and it felt like coming home. Lots of friends and familiar faces yet to become friends; dusty bodies, crazy dancing, sharing, creating, connecting and being. Can’t wait to do it all again next year.
All photos made with an old Mamiya c220 twin lens reflex camera on 120 Kodak film in a 40 degree dustbowl.

Oh Emma. I do not have words to describe your photography. It is amazing on every level – old film camera and your photos are so sharp and clear. I love subtle film feel – not overwhelming contrasty – clean and crisp. And the place is simply magical – I must look into this as I have never heard of it before. Gorgeous photos! You should send them for a competition or two somewhere! x

Emma I love everything about this. Documentary photography at it’s best. What an amazing experience this place must be, and to get to capture it on film is all the better.

Oh my Emma – I love this set. It’s feels properly old skool 70’s. That first image is my absolute favourite.

sublime. love all of these. You simply can’t beat film. and … if you have a pretty damn decent photography holding the camera – it’s always going to be good. Love the mood of these too. Gorgeous frames Ems.
