As photography has shifted from film to digital, the rise of trigger-happy shutterbugs subscribing to quantity over quality has made the art of photography and its need for slowing things down seem almost archaic.

Photographer Jeff Enlow, also a news photo editor, often combs through thousands of images daily for his job. Although he enjoys the work, he said the abundance of images he sees also reminds him of the impermanence of images, frequently never seen and stored away on an endless pile of hard drives.

Enlow decided to significantly slow things down with his own work and started a project of multiple-exposure nudes taken on 4-by-5 Polaroid film. The project, titled “Parallelograms,” aims to bridge the gap between photography and painting, Enlow said.
