For this body of work I’ve documented shadows within a urban environment and how, depending their specific location and time they’re captured can create a strong contrast of elements and principles commonly used within visual art and graphic design work, primarily the use of positive and negative space (i.e. figure - ground). My intention beyond these photographs is to develop a collection, which not only holds an artistic value, but also complements the location photographed. However, these photographs are unique because unlike a graphic design piece or painting which is developed over time, the elements to create the image already exist within the location. Not unlike many traditional photographs, it is a matter of timing and an awareness of form, shape & composition defines these images.
