Some spaces are too small for ordinary photography.
That is exactly why they become interesting.
*In My Car* is one of my long-term photographic obsessions: a black-and-white series created inside and around the narrow architecture of a car. No grand location. No cinematic landscape. No safety net. Just the model, the geometry of the vehicle, reflections in glass, the hard frame of the door, and the quiet tension of limited space.
Shot with the Leica Q2 at 28mm, these images are not retouched — they are exactly as they came out of the camera. Raw in the best sense. Direct. Honest. Almost brutally elegant.
Usually, I photograph this series from the front, through the open door frame. With Emerika, the idea shifted while we were working. We brought the door itself into the image, allowed the frame of the car to become part of the composition, and used the reflections in the window as a second, ghostlike layer of the scene.
That is the beauty of a long-term project: every model brings a new intelligence into the concept. A new temperature. A new rhythm. A new way of occupying the space.
Emerika — with those remarkable eyes, as she would probably say herself — gave this chapter of *In My Car* something cinematic, fragile, and quietly dangerous.
A car is never just a car.
Sometimes, it becomes a room.
Sometimes, a stage.
Sometimes, a confession in black and white.
