Ghost Portraits
                      and Light

I had begun to take ghost portraits in London around 2012.  Long exposure where I was in the shot for a few seconds and then walked away to create a ghost image. 

On the road through the Namib desert and Richtersveldt  in Southern Africa I created most of these images. I used a variety of different torch lights. I also photographed on a river which causes the shimmering of the light reflecting. 

Sometimes fish leapt out of the water as I went. Perhaps I disturbed them in their sleep.
