A Conversation with Orson Pestell
Orson Pestell is 19 and focused on capturing friends — and self — at their truest and most intimate. They carry a camera every time they leave the house, hoping to catch the moments that might feel ordinary now, but will mean everything in twenty years.
For Flash. Issue 03 — a Project See & B × Jean Marie Film collaboration giving twenty creatives second-hand film cameras and total freedom — Orson shot Flimsier on a Minolta Dynax 404si.
The work moves through three scenes: Will skitching, Dylan in industrial remains, and Self-portrait on lakebed. Together, they read like fragments of the same world — youth in motion, friendship as a constant, and the quiet urge to document it before it slips.
