Scenes Sincere (Volume I) is a photographic survey of sincerity, empathy, familiarity, vernaculars, and anomalies. An honest view, quite literally, through the lens. Wasko captures the essence of a longing, through a once traveled lanscape or familiar face. Pages are arranged in a unique format that excite and keep the viewer guessing what comes next.

The book itself is a black-and-white zine that features a unique construction combining typical pages with smaller individual Polaroid pages engaging the viewer’s interaction with the photographs as objects.

A Little While Longer is Wasko’s second self-published photobook. In the same vein as his previous series, Scenes Sincere (Vol. 1), this book features a romantic, empathetic view of what is considered familiar. This time with a high emphasis on coloration this photobook features dense full page spreads that immerse the viewer. By contrasting moments of the ordinary and extraordinary, his series flows like the tide, blending the two hierarchies seamlessly through a luscious palette.
