Shadow photography, cast shadow as primary subject

Available for hire

Photographs shadows as the real subject, with the object casting them as secondary. The shadow of a bicycle becomes a Giacometti sculpture on hot asphalt. A fire escape's shadow is a Mondrian on brick. Returns to the same spots at different hours to document the shadow's journey across surfaces.
