Light is the fundamental force that shapes photography, and recording its presence is at the center of One Day Solar. This project traces the movement and intensity of sunlight over the course of a full day, using extended exposures to make visible a continuous flow that normally escapes perception.
Working with pinhole cameras, I allowed light to accumulate on photosensitive material for hours at a time. Bright daytime sun creates dense bands and gradients, while the quieter light of dusk, night, and early morning registers as subtle tonal shifts. Rather than capturing single moments, these photographs function as records of duration—visual measurements of how light changes as the sun moves across the sky.
One Day Solar focuses on photography’s ability to translate time into form, presenting light not as an image of the world but as physical evidence of its passage.
