Buddleia
Eric van Kampen

The title, Buddleia, comes from the name of a plant, otherwise known as the Butterfly Bush, that Eric has began to associate with more over the course of the project, as its bloom coincided and became synonymous with the peak of summer and the onset of Autumn.

All of the images are landscape black and white 35mm photographs made using an analogue film camera; a Leica M5 rangefinder and a Leitz Summicron-M 50mm lens.

I am working and living in Dublin city. My images are a reflection of the people and places I spend time with living here. ¹
