Project: Dizzy Dizzy Dizzy, 2020
Words & Photography: Paula Codoñer Muñoz

I started working on this editorial for Broccoli Magazine during the first lockdown in Spain when all but essential shops were closed. I couldn’t just go out to buy flowers nor prepare for a new photoshoot. So I decided to work with some personal images that I had already shot.

Despite limitations, I wanted to provide unique visuals and ended up experimenting with post-production tools. I played with distortion, psychedelic colours, and blur. Through the creative process, I got reminded of the importance of adapting myself to new situations.
