Since picking up a camera, I have been fascinated by photographing at night - the lights, the stillness, the mystery, all drew me in.

Photographing at night also posed a set of new, and mostly technical, challenges for me as a photographer. Additionally, photographing at night poses somewhat of a philosophical conundrum: if photography is the study of light, then how might I study something that isn’t present, or at least in limited supply?

Equal to the technical mystery, I’m also interested in space, how it is used and/or exploited, the built environment, and how these things coalesce to create (im)balanace(s) of power. Light, power, generated at night is an invention of the contemporary, capitalist society, and often serves as an indicator of where the flow of capital is most prominent.

Quiet and Studied: Reflections on Light explore the stillness of night, space and capital, and urbanicity.
