Frugal

In a world obsessed with pixel-perfect photography and high-end equipment, "Frugal" celebrates the beauty in imperfection. A photography zine that embraces the quirks and blemished qualities of the smartphone as an affordable yet remarkably creative medium for capturing moments.

Thomas Duft a photographer from Rhode Island, allowed his smartphone to become his primary tool of expression, ultimately allowing it to shape his photographic vision.

Frugal is a testament to his ability to find inspiration in the everyday, capturing the vibrancy of life through the lens of his smartphone. Each page of "Frugal" is infused with personality and color, offering a vacillating perspective on the world. Delving deeper into the experiences and emotions captured within the images by incorporating poetry and candid screenshots from his phone, Thomas adds a personal touch that bridges the gap between diary and published book.

"Frugal" is a reminder that sometimes, the most profound moments are right at our fingertips.
