Approaching the Divide

A solitary figure moves toward a sharply divided architectural space shaped by light and shadow. The geometry remains fixed while human presence passes briefly through it, emphasizing scale and direction. The image reflects movement as inevitability rather than event.

About Artist

David Payne

Dedicated to the world of Black and White Film Photography using the Canon EOS-1N, EF 85 mm f1.8 and EF 35mm f2 as my tools of choice. An enthusiast Photographer retired from the corporate world and on a Photography Journey to discover what artistic streams lie hidden within my depths. I'm disabled, using a walker to get out and around for my Photography Walks...but that doesn't stop me from getting out to chase Light, Shadows, Shapes & Textures wherever I can find them đŸ“·đŸ–€đŸ˜Žâ€Œïž
