Drug Abuse Portraits: Haunting Before & After Drug Addiction Photos by Roman Sakovich

London photographer Roman Sakovich has hit a nerve – many nerves that is, including mine – with his recent portrait series titled “Half”. Thru some simple but astute post production, Sakovich combines the two halves of a person…on the left ‘before’ addiction & abuse, and on the right, after, at full throttle. Certainly the studio photos have been enhanced, but the results don’t waver. Simple photographs, compelling + robust narrative. Signs of good art. #Respect. Great series, Roman.

    Sadly, I found these quite banal. Without drugs …. wear suit. after drugs … denim jacket or tack top. The apparel of those druggy guys are what I wear most of the time. And occassionally, I don’t shave! I guess if I deny any addiction, I’m simply ling to myself!

    I am not sure if I can call these pictures beautiful but they describe pretty well what drugs can do very quickly and especially if you are living on the streets.

A person standing on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by dense evergreen forest. In the background, there are snow-capped mountains under a cloudy sky. Overlaid on the image, on the left side, there is text in bold yellow and black that reads: "THE CHASE JARVIS LIVE SHOW". The text is stacked with "THE" on top, followed by "CHASE JARVIS", and then "LIVE SHOW" at the bottom.Silent Saboteur: Why You Keep Breaking Your Own Promises

A melting white canvas on a wooden easel, with a clock face placed in the center. The clock hands are black and point outward from the center, but the white material seems to drip and melt off the edges of the canvas, pooling at the base. The background is gray, providing a stark contrast to the melting white substance. To the left of the canvas, yellow and black text reads: "The Chase Jarvis Live Show," with the words stacked vertically in a bold, modern font. The overall composition evokes a surreal and creative aesthetic.The Creative Pause: Why We Need to Stop Asking “What’s Next?”
