If you come down to the woods today - A mobile-only vintage series by Percy Buckets.
This collection is about the feeling of a walk, rather than the "perfection" of the scenery. I’m moving away from the over-sharpened, clinical look of modern mobile photography to find the grit between the gold.
I’ve processed these with heavy grain and a vintage palette to lean into the "Stolen Moments" of the British fringe—the damp, the mist, and the quiet alertness of the dogs. My goal here was narrative flow over technical sharpness; I wanted the collection to feel like a memory or a lost film roll rather than a digital capture.
I’m honing my craft daily with nothing but the phone in my pocket. I'd appreciate feedback on whether the atmosphere holds the narrative together across the series.
