Style, as we read it
An editorial summary of the body of work by FilmAnalysis: interpretation, not historical record.
A San Francisco Bay Area portrait photographer who works mainly with natural light, usually a window, and shapes it so precisely that it looks like studio lighting: faces emerging from deep shadow.
- Colour
- Restrained saturation; warm shadows, clean or cool highlights.
- Composition
- Strict, quiet frames; hidden frames of blurred plants; shots through car windows with reflections.
- Light
- Chiaroscuro from a window, Rembrandt and Caravaggio in feel.
- Tone
- Deep blacks but a matte curve, highlights never blown.
- Texture
- Visible film-like grain.
- Mood
- Intimate, solitary, calm.
