"Monica Khemsurov, cofounder of the online magazine Sight Unseen, asked me to photograph Q&Q SmileSolar watches. I appreciate these kinds of commissions because there isn’t a desire for a perfect product shot. I decided to abstract the aspects of solar and time by creating duplicate sunlike shadows on either side of the watch. I didn’t need to focus on the brand, so I focused on the shape and how I could manipulate it to reject its traditional use.”
