Manifesto / 001
Images do not need to shout. Sometimes the most important part of a photograph is what disappears into shadow.
Selected compositions
Different ways to hold a frame.
Editorial arrangements for portrait, street, architecture and still life. Each composition is built around balance, negative space and deliberate interruption.
Light describes the object. Shadow describes the feeling.

About deep-shade
A place for photographs, visual experiments and the process behind them.
deep-shade combines a minimal
photography portfolio with
composition studies, editorial
notes and a lightweight browser
darkroom.
The visual system stays
deliberately restrained:
white space, black type,
monochrome imagery and only
the lines needed to give the
content structure.
