Warping the World Cup: the rise of homespun ‘photographs’

Jonny Weeks, a picture editor with years of football photo experience, has turned to digital flat-bed scanners to create unique, alternative images for the World Cup, showcasing a growing trend of homespun photography. This method, known as slit-scanning, transforms traditional photos in innovative ways, proving that you don't need to be on-site to capture the essence of such a monumental event. This shift highlights a broader movement in photography where personal creativity and technology are merging to redefine how we perceive and document significant moments.
