Leaning into Negative Space

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

An overcast sky and open space creates a simple background for the buoy in the harbor.

Nikon FM, Kodak Tri-X 400 film, developed with Cinestill DF96 and imported into Lightroom via Fujifilm GFX 100s using a Venus Optics Loawa 100mm 2X macro lens.

On the beach with my son

Heading onto the beach in Bamburgh

Heading onto the beach at Bamburgh with the X100F — a photograph of movement and direction rather than a formal portrait. Beach light in Northumberland is wide and even; shooting into the light at this angle silhouettes the figure against the sand and sea, and monochrome holds the tonal range from the bright sky to the foreground shadow without compromise.
