Black & White Photography Prints

I started on Kodak T-Max 400, hand-developing negatives in a darkroom, and whatever I've learned about composition mostly traces back to that — when color isn't available to save a bad frame, you find out fast whether the frame actually works. Each frame meant slowing down and checking every detail.

Black and white still does something color can't: it pulls a subject slightly out of reality and hands you back a version of it with more gravitas, sometimes a whole different truth than the color version told. Each image is available as a limited edition fine art print.
