Reader Excerpts: His Loss
Today, Zeno Gill shares a visual through black and white 35mm film. The work, entitled “His Loss,” is an all too common emotional journey of heartbreak lived vicariously through the model, Shannon, which depicts visual representations of the emotions we experience.
Reader Excerpts allow those who read Now Developing to become part of the collective by sharing a written piece alongside their images on a topic of their choice. If you have any ideas for a piece and would like to have it featured here, feel free to contact me.
His Loss, shot and written by Zeno Gill (Instagram)
There is a dusty, graffiti-riddled underpass north of NYC that I noticed from a train and immediately wanted to explore and use as a shooting location. One can only access it from a bike path, so Shannon and I had to walk in. We’ve collaborated many times and always have great conversations, so we had a good chat about breakups while we walked. I think that in these images we captured the strange state-of-mind that can occur after a breakup — loneliness, dejection, and helplessness combined with a sense of freedom and exhilaration. Even the ugly parts of life have some beauty.

My First Roll: Matt Chapple
My First Roll is a series for film photographers to share the images from their first roll of film. Everyone starts shooting at a different time and for different reasons. Some shooters may have started shooting yesterday while others have started shooting decades ago. This series provides a glimpse into the humble beginnings of individual photographers, encouraging us to reflect on our earlier work to find beauty and appreciation in our inexperience and to understand how we got to where we our now and where we want to go in our photographic journey. If you would like to share images from your first roll of film, send me an email.
Matt Chapple shares a handful of beautiful shots from his first roll of film from back in February 2013 while exploring the French landscape. Matt had been sitting on this undeveloped roll for five years before finally seeing the images many years after his excursion. The images were taken on Ilford HP5 with an Olympus Trip 25. If you would like to check out more of Matt’s work, then feel free to check him out on Instagram.
