ABSTRACTION: Blog 8

The Shape of Darkness:

The message of my photographs will be to extract beauty from the dynamics created by shadows and light and also offer a new perspective into the world of shadow and darkness. I want my audiences to find astonishment through the simple yet unique shapes, lines, patterns, and tones created by shadows. For inspiration, I will aim to find photographs with high contrast and shot in black-and-white. I would also try to find photos that experiment with tones and shapes. Nowadays, most photographs we see are multi-colored, complex, and filled. It stems from the idea that “complexity is better.” I want to challenge that idea by shooting with a minimalist approach. Utilizing one of the most common things around us as the main subject, shadows. Proving that something as insignificant as some pieces of shade can possess astonishing visual content.
