Light, shadows, and linear perspective are just a few of the tricks up photographer Denis Cherim’s sleeve as he captures surprising, well-timed, and occasionally ironic glimpses of daily life (previously). “I seek answers in places hidden in plain sight,” the Madrid-based artist says in a statement. “I feel curiosity about everyday objects with secret desires to be the main character.”
Often using a digital camera, Cherim captures the way lines converge to create surprising symmetry or sunlight glitters off the sea and appears to emanate from a street lamp. The photos are part of his ongoing series, The Coincidence Project, which he has been developing since 2012.
“Through my project, I have been able to show the outstanding amongst the mundane,” Cherim says. “By playing with the perspective and scale, I create juxtapositions making different parts of the scene interact between each other.”
The artist recently began returning to analog methods after receiving a newly launched Pentax 17 film camera, already shooting more than 50 rolls. You can find more work on his website, and follow updates on Instagram.
