Unveiling Visual Identity: Bliss’ Chronicles the Process Of Making Saraevo and Assassinato Amid COVID-19.

Photographer Bliss Mutanda delves into the complex interplay between subjects and their environment in the creative process of capturing visual identity. This perspective took on a heightened significance, particularly in the context of filming during the COVID-19 lockdown. The surroundings, serving as a pivotal cast member, acquire their own distinct moods, emotions, desires, and intentions, adding depth and nuance to the overall visual narrative.

By embracing this figurative interpretation, the shifting relationship between the subjects and their environment is established. The concepts of being "stuck" and "liberated" are further examined through spatial and compositional choices within the images. Our figures, acting as spatial props, play a pivotal role in shaping the overall composition and conveying a visual message that transcends the need for words. Bliss takes us on a visual journey where the interplay between subjects and their surroundings creates a narrative that speaks volumes about the essence of their visual identities. Through capturing these moments amidst the challenges of COVID-19, the photographs invite us to explore the intricate dance between individuals and the world that surrounds them.
