Style, as we read it
An editorial summary of the body of work by FilmAnalysis: interpretation, not historical record.
A colourist first and a documentarian second: blocks of saturated colour, geometric shadow, and people reduced to shapes within the light. His Morocco and Belgian coast pictures look like painted film stills.
- Colour
- Dense, saturated, often one warm block against one cool block.
- Composition
- Graphic, geometric, people as silhouettes in a colour arrangement.
- Light
- Hard directional light, long shadows, coloured artificial light.
- Tone
- Deep shadow, rich mid-tones, little white.
- Texture
- Crisp, filmic.
- Mood
- Cool, cinematic, slightly estranged.
