Shutter

Submitted By: Yogasaye RP

A young photographer experimenting with his camera stumbles upon a disturbing anomaly—every photo he takes causes something in reality to disappear. At first, the changes are small and easy to dismiss, but curiosity pushes him to continue. As objects begin to vanish and the world around him subtly shifts, unease turns into fear. Desperate to understand what’s happening, he reviews his photos, only to realize the camera isn’t just documenting reality—it’s altering it. The line between control and consequence blurs as the phenomenon escalates, and the camera begins to act on its own. What started as a simple experiment spirals into a terrifying loss of control, leaving him to confront a haunting question: is he using the camera… or is the camera using him?
