Large format photography requires patience. Ce Lokker sets up a view camera, arranges flowers in simple vases and shoots black and white film with careful attention to composition. The work is necessarily intentional. He keeps a low profile online, mostly sharing work on Flickr rather than chasing engagement elsewhere. The focus stays on the photographs themselves.
