Drive out Darkness-Photo series is a project that I did in 2005.

Here I want to talk about the techniques, like the Camera and Film, that I used in this Art project.
My name is Ed Mehravaran, and I am a Visual artist based in Europe. For living, I am doing photography and videography for brands.

My art projects are based on my personal experience in my life and my world. Every time I am searching for the meaning of life and why I am in this world. Photography is my medium for my artistic expression. Conceptual photography is my favorite way to creat my Artworks.

The camera

I used The Chinon CS-4 – Reliable Screw-Mount SLR. The Chinon CS-4 is a basic, no-frills SLR that has an M-42 mount, which was popular in the late 1960s-1970s among second-tier manufacturers since it was considered a “universal” mount. When Pentax finally switched to the bayonet K-mount, it became the defacto “universal” mount among the same manufacturers.
