Timothy Archibald: Echolilia

Timothy Archibald is a commercial photographer based in San-Francisco who struggled to connect with his five-year-old son Eli, who had been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Out of this tension was born Echolilia, a hauntingly beautiful collaboration between father and son that delicately stretches the boundaries of the photographer-subject relationship, and delves into new realms of communication.

Beautifully haunting.

When I Facebook “liked this” the thumbnail shown on my timeline was that of a lighter being held near a woman’s pubic hair. Might want to fix it so it shows something from this set instead of another artist’s!
