✱eSSeNTiaL

Something that is absolutely necessary, indispensable, or fundamental to the nature of something.

Essential documents the chaotic
progression of 2020 through the lens of an analog camera at a year marked by loss, triumph, grief, togetherness, 6 feet of separation, and 6 degrees of separation.

"In a time when the world stood still, I didn't."

Moving chronologically through a tumultuous year, the collection captures the shift from the quiet panic of early pandemic isolation to the restless energy of street activism, culminating in the joy of rekindled human connection as friends and communities emerged back into the world.

Ferrin's portraits bypass polish to focus on the true urban reality, documenting the faces and moments that defined a year none of us will ever forget.
