Joanna Pallaris' analog process—soft focus, darkroom toning, heavy grain—turns straightforward subjects into something closer to memory than documentation. She spent years living without electricity in the Amalfi Coast mountains, which shows in how she photographs nature: not as backdrop but as active participant in decay. Her work operates on the principle that film can capture what sits just outside clear vision and experience. These photos aren't nature studies, they're records of impermanence.
