Letting Go is an editorial exploration of emotional release through movement.

Using pole as both structure and axis, the body becomes a site of tension and surrender. Shutter drag functions as residue — a visible trace of what is being shed. Each frame captures the space between control and release, strength and vulnerability.

Rather than documenting performance, this work centers authorship. The movement is not spectacle; it is expression. The pole is not a stage, but a vertical anchor — a place to confront gravity and choose to rise anyway.

The series moves through three emotional states:

Weight. Release. Freedom.

The project was photographed using a hybrid approach — digitally on a Sony A7II and on 35mm film using a Pentax ME Super loaded with Ilford Delta black & white film — allowing the work to oscillate between clarity and grain, control and texture.

What remains is breath, presence, and the quiet aftermath of letting go.
