Black and white portrait photography is a striking exploration of emotion, texture, and timelessness. Such photographs emphasise the raw beauty of the subject, often using natural light to highlight intricate details like facial expressions and skin texture. The monochrome aesthetic strips away distractions, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow to convey depth and emotion.
Some images were captured on the set of the short film Even Gods. See the Location Still Project.
