Click through to see the 5x7 print options, one of which will be included inside each of the first 100 pre-sale purchases of Housemates. The series was shot on 35mm film with a Canon AE-1 by Art Phung, a local photographer and Emma Copley Eisenberg’s partner.
Emma and Art say: “In the age of short form videos, film photography forces us to plant our feet and stay still, looking out at our surroundings through a static viewfinder. There’s no deleting or editing the photograph you’ve just made; your shots show all your mistakes and offer unlikely surprises. Bernie and Leah, the characters in Housemates, are using an even rarer and more temperamental process–a 4 x 5 large format film camera–than we did, but Bernie also uses a smaller film camera on their road trip when she wants to capture a more swiftly changing world. Besides depicting some of the important West Philly spots that feature in Housemates, we believe in the unique power of putting words and images side by side, and hope including this photograph adds something to your reading experience, just as Bernie and Leah would have wanted it.”
