Targets

Circles, numbers and a point to aim for. A closer look at paper targets: graphic patterns, bright colour and the small marks left behind.

Photographed at Steiger-Schützen-Corps in the Steigerwald forest in Erfurt, Germany. This series moves between close studies of scoring rings and wider views of targets and their surroundings. Similar frames are kept together as variations in angle, framing and light.
