Afterlight
My work is often influenced by science and with this series by the science of perception. I explore the ways in which our brains can help to illustrate how the visual elements of the photographs work together. As a result, these elements can create a distinctive aesthetic and elicit certain emotional responses from viewers.
With this series I create a sense of tension and intrigue, as the viewer is drawn to the stark differences between light and dark areas of the image. This effect is heightened using low light levels, which can conceal and reveal elements of the scene in unexpected ways. Together, these elements create a sense of danger and uncertainty that is evocative of the film noir genre.
My work is not only an ode to the film noir genre but also an exploration of the human condition, its complexities, and the different shades of morality. I strive to tell a story and leave a lasting impression by creating images that are not only visually striking, but also thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.
