Commuting Through the Borderline Fictional Universe of @kdickerman

“It’s been a steady progression away from professional cameras for me,” says photo editor Kenneth Dickerman (@kdickerman), a photographer turned photo editor, now working at The Washington Post (@washingtonpost). “I have a certain kind of look I’m going for, and that would be moody and introspective, sort of borderline fictional”.

He contrasts the personal images he records at home or on his daily commute to work, with his years of working as a photojournalist in places like Gaza and Afghanistan, and covering the Occupy protests in the United States. “It’s not documentary. It could be whatever I want,” he says. “My cats are a big part of my life. I know a lot of people say cat pictures are stupid on the Internet. To me, they’re a huge part of my life, so I take pictures of them.”

Kenneth treats each image, photographed with an iPhone 5, with a post-production process that includes using the Drama filter on Snapseed, not once, but several times, and sometimes adding or removing texture to emulate film grain.

He explains his approach by citing an adage he attributes to many of his favorite photographers: “Create your own universe. With pictures that’s one thing I’m really trying to do — trying to create my own universe, and inhabit it.”
