Ensayos Para un Autoretrato by Isabel Casellas is a two-part series of photos in black and white, featuring pictures full of movement. Her idea was to take pictures that are imprecise (even blurred) of things and moments as they are happening, in order to express emotions or even use photography as photo-therapy.
