Backroom I

Backroom I - Blog post by Photographer Sub|Liminal Photography / 1 Nov 2025, 07:49

"In the amber glow of a forgotten hour, she holds her secrets close."

We dove into the dim light of a hidden backroom, a place that whispered secrets from the Prohibition era. We used the minimal light available that was spilling through a dusty small window and from old lamps, sometimes catching her features sharply, sometimes softly. The "Flapper Girl" concept came alive; you could feel the yearning for freedom and the sweet decadence of the "Roaring Twenties." Every click of the camera was like a toast with forbidden whiskey, capturing that rebellious, fleeting elegance.

Ephemeral Skin: A Portrait Study

Ephemeral Skin: A Portrait Study - Blog post by Photographer Sub|Liminal Photography / 5 Oct 2025, 15:09

Another creative collaboration with Frau Katzenblum:

​Our goal was to deliberately create a morbid and oppressive atmosphere, for which the plastic foil served as a symbol of suffocation and isolation. Frau Katzenblum fully immersed herself in this dark role, portraying the quiet struggle against the suffocating shroud with impressive intensity. The foil, emphasized by the harsh, cold light and deep shadows, sometimes lay like a shroud, sometimes like a second, lifeless skin over her face. The series is intended to both disturb and fascinate the viewer, celebrating the aesthetics of unease and transience.
