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 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 i even had fish leaping out of the water as i went. perhaps i disturbed them in their sleep.
