This series is a deep dive into looking closely at the depiction of light on film. I’ve immersed myself into this project more than any other lately. It’s taken me to a place of curiosity, solitude and reflection. It’s the photo refuge that I’ve needed and searched for.
I’ve experimented with different cameras, different films, different light sources. I’ve always been completely seduced by the sculptures of Bernini and the light in Caravaggio’s work. It was only natural that I would eventually want to explore the same elements of light and shadow in my own work, and after all, isn’t that what photography is about, collecting light?
I’m hardly done. This exercise has taken me back to film and my beloved Hasselblad. That thunk of the shutter! There’s nothing like it. But the mirrorless has it’s place and cannot be dismissed. I am taking this subject in all different directions and am curious to see where it leads me.
