Light, shadows and linear perspective are just some of a photographer’s tricks Denis Cherim‘s sleeve while capturing surprising, well-timed and sometimes ironic glimpses of everyday life (before). “I look for answers in places hidden in plain sight,” the Madrid artist said in a statement. “I feel curiosity about everyday objects with secret desires to be the main character.”
Cherim often uses a digital camera to capture the way lines come together to create surprising symmetry, or how sunlight glints off the sea and appears to come from a street lamp. The photos are part of his ongoing series, The coincidence projectwhich he has been developing since 2012.
“My project allowed me to show the excellence beneath the mundane,” says Cherim. “By playing with perspective and scale, I create juxtapositions that allow different parts of the scene to interact with each other.”
The artist recently began returning to analog methods after receiving a newly launched Pentax 17 film camera, which has already filmed more than 50 rolls. More of his work can be found websiteand follow up on updates Instagram.
