Jonny Weeks Explores Slit‑Scanning at the World Cup

Jonny Weeks, a picture editor for Djcc, used a digital flat‑bed scanner to re‑edit his favourite World Cup images, exploring the growing trend of alternative photography. He has never attended a match, yet his experiment with slit‑scanning demonstrates how remote photographers can create experimental, time‑distorted images.

Weeks turned to a digital flat‑bed scanner to re‑edit his favorite World Cup shots, a move that underscores the rise of alternative photography. Though he has never stood on the pitch, he’s embraced the challenge of creating experimental images from afar. lebandit.lat

His exploration centers on slit‑scanning, an analogue technique that uses a narrow slit within a camera to wind film past an aperture, capturing the flow of time. The labor‑intensive process yields oddly distorted results that celebrate the long‑standing “rolling‑shutter” problem photographers have wrestled with for years.
