Photos and portraits from South Dakota and elsewhere
A spontaneous adventure in lowlight photography.
I was just sitting around with a few friends out on the rooftop of a downtown apartment when a few people walked past. The look of the girl was perfect and so I asked if she would like to pose for a few photographic experiments. After explaining she was more than happy to pose.

This Is What It Sounds Like…
Associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style, film noir (French for black film) has roots that stretch back all the way to the 15th and 16th century. The low-key lighting creates moods reminiscent of 15th century chiaroscuro (Italian for clear-dark) and 16th century tenebrism from the Italian tenebroso (”murky”), techniques using high contrasts of light and dark to create moody and darkly foreboding art.
