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 Photography now using The Fujifilm X-T5 with Sigma 56mm f1.4 DC DN, Sigma 12mm f1.4 DC and Viltrox EVO 90mm f2.2 lenses. 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 📷🖤😎‼️
