Photographer pays homage to cinema’s favorite characters through dreamy, black and white long exposures

From realistic visual effects to captivating scenic footages, it is true that cinematography has come a long way. But for San Francisco native and photographer Nathan Wirth, the beauty of simplicity in old films still holds real power in effective storytelling.

In his photo series called Imaginations, he captures fan-favorite characters of known sci-fi movies in truly nostalgic black and white photographs. Darth Vader, Godzilla and the Tardis are just a few of his subjects. These haunting portraits were all shot by the seaside accompanied with long exposures, adding both the element of mystery and nostalgia.

For Wirth, it is important that his audience learns to “embrace these images’ flaws” and that each photo tells a simple story that kids who grew up in an era of lousy, over-the-top visual effects would completely relate to. Adding to this, he says that his series is meant to be a “look back” at his childhood fantasies which, to this day, inspires him to “create my own stories.”
