Written by Jon Mckechnie Step Back, Look Forward Slavo - aka- TheLight, began photography as a quiet refuge from burnout. A way to carve out space in a world that often moved too fast. What started as a small escape gradually evolved into something far more profound. Through the lens of film, he discovered a new rhythm. One that slowed him down and subtly reshaped his habits. Each frame became a moment to really notice light, texture, and the small details that usually slip by unnoticed. On the featured image above, Slavo explains that: "it was taken in Thailand, in Ancient city on a small but wonderful Olympus camera charged with nothing but Kodak Gold."
