La Parada de Manos (the hand stand) from Andrew's El Matador series shows a male gymnast doing a handstand on the shore of El Matador Beach in Malibu California. Captured in Andrew's signature pinhole process, this image evokes serenity and tranquility through a soft-focus, motion blur, and subdued aesthetic.

Process
All images are shot in the classic pinhole style. During the pinhole process light from the scene that Andrew wants to capture passes through the aperture or "pinhole" and projects an inverted image onto light sensitive paper on the opposite side of the box or 'camera' that Andrew constructs himself. This is known as the camera obscura effect. This effect creates a negative image which he develops in the darkroom. He then uses this negative to print the positive images you see above.
Framing
