Negative space is my second favorite tool to use in an image (light is the first.) It’s neutral, it’s soft, it’s yielding—a malleable presence that is simultaneously unassuming and important. It conveys a story with its oblivion, drawing your focus to the lines, shapes, and shadows that create an image. It isn’t a crashing of waves or an explosion of fireworks—it’s the quiet solitude that envelopes us every day. Creating your images by being aware of negative space is like allowing a living organism the space to breathe and grow.
September
These golden, russeted apples are a perfect study in everything I have come to expect from September.
Connection
The timelessness of black and white images and the softness of the mother-child connection. What could be more beautiful?
Sunday
Aiyanah and I have been working together for years now and each and every time, she inspires me to create images that are transcendent.
Friday
Lemons
Some beautiful lemons from a friend's tree. Citrus is more special when it's shared!
