I decided to make all of my photos in back and white because of the simple elegance the final products embody. Sometimes I feel like color complicates things, and I wanted the subject and shapes to speak for themselves.

Same Subject Different Light
In these photographs I used all artificial light at night. One was photographed inside while the rest were photographed outside. While taking these photographs I leaned how important it was to direct my subject while also moving my body to get the best possible lighting. My favorite photo is the one where my subject is looking straight into the camera. I enjoy this photo because of the strong contrast and wrinkles in his clothing. His stare is also piercing. The photo I am most proud of is the full body shot where the light illuminates from behind him, which creates a halo around his body. My vision was exactly what I was able to capture.

Exciting and haunting photos. I agree with your statement about black and white vs. color. Black and white images pair the visual information down to shape and tone and lighting - which is the subject of your photos. While all the images carry a very strong emotion and mystery I am drawn to the second photo. In that one I am left with little literal content and much curiosity and a sense of foreboding. Nicely done!
