10 Glitch Shots that Embrace & Celebrate the Perfectly Imperfect

Celebrating those perfect mistakes and accidentally beautiful moments in photography

“Perfection itself is imperfection.” – Vladimir Horowitz

In photography, there is no right or wrong. There is no perfect. That’s one of the things we love so much about it! Pixelation, blur, light leaks, double exposure – you name it, we think the ‘messier’ shots are often the best ones. So whether it’s a happy accident or the result of some creative experimentation, embrace the glitches in your photos. Be spontaneous, allow for the unexpected and celebrate the results!

Imperfection is perfect. Don’t believe us? The 10 glitch images below are proof of just how beautiful those photography mistakes can be.
