"DARK FRAMES"
A VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
"Dark Frames" exists in a realm beyond colour, where black and white photography reveals depth through form and texture.
Before the advent of colour film, photographers relied solely on light and shadow, capturing images of extraordinary complexity, with contrast and tone defining the frame.
At the core of black and white photography lies the study of light, grounded in optics. As both a wave and a particle, light interacts with surfaces to create contrasts of brightness and shadow. Without colour, our attention sharpens, allowing us to observe this balance. Monochrome enables photographers to exercise precise control over tonal range, sculpting each image with clarity and intent.
"Dark Frames" honours the distinctive character of this Art form. In the void of hue, the artistry of black and white photography is illuminated.
