A black and white photograph taken from floor level shows the bottom edge of a partially open interior door. The viewer’s perspective is low and intimate, almost at the height of the wood grain running across the dark floorboards in the foreground. The door, painted white but worn and slightly chipped along its edges, stands ajar on the left side of the frame. The vertical line of the door creates a visual boundary, dividing the known space from what lies beyond.
The wooden threshold between rooms is exposed and rough, its surface scarred with small splinters, dust, and fragments of aged paint. Fine cracks and imperfections are visible, suggesting years of quiet passage. The shallow depth of field draws attention to this worn strip of wood, while the floor in the foreground and parts of the doorframe softly blur.
Beyond the threshold is a deep, almost absolute darkness. The interior space behind the door is not visible, appearing as a solid black void. No detail can be discerned in that space, creating a strong contrast between the textured, tactile surfaces of the foreground and the unknowable interior beyond.
Light falls gently from the right, grazing the threshold and emphasizing its texture. The image evokes a sense of pause, as if standing at the edge of a room that has not been entered for a long time. The composition centers on the boundary itself, transforming an ordinary doorway into a quiet symbol of transition, mystery, and the unseen space just out of reach.

A close, tightly framed photograph of a New York Knicks sweatshirt fills the image, concentrating on an embroidered basketball emblem stitched into a dense blue fabric. At the center, a circular orange patch recalls the color and texture of a basketball, its slightly wrinkled surface catching the light and revealing the softness and thickness of the textile. Deep blue embroidery outlines the circle and traces the basketball panel lines. Inside the emblem, the number “46” is prominently stitched in blue, accompanied by the small inscription “Estd.”, referencing the year 1946, when the New York Knicks basketball club was founded.
Around the central emblem, partial words and letters in orange embroidery curve across the blue background, intentionally cropped by the frame so that the typography becomes graphic rather than informational. The vivid orange stitching stands in strong complementary contrast against the saturated blue fabric, each color intensifying the other and reinforcing the visual identity of the team.
A shallow depth of field softly blurs the surrounding fabric while keeping the emblem crisp, drawing attention to the raised stitching, thread density, and tactile qualities of the garment. The lighting is even and controlled, emphasizing material, craftsmanship, and color harmony. Presented as product photography, the sweatshirt is treated as an object of design and history, where texture, color, and legacy take precedence over the full form of the clothing.

Black and white photograph showing a close, tightly framed view of a chair, reduced to abstracted details rather than its full form. On the left side of the image, a curved wooden armrest emerges from deep shadow. Its surface is smooth but visibly worn, with fine grain and subtle imperfections catching the light. The armrest bends downward in a soft arc, its pale tone standing out against a nearly black background.
Below and slightly behind the armrest, a section of upholstered fabric is visible. The fabric has a dense, woven texture, light gray in tone, with individual threads clearly defined. The edge of the upholstery runs diagonally across the frame, suggesting the seat or backrest without fully revealing it.
On the right side of the image, separated by a large area of darkness, a second upholstered element appears, likely the top edge of the chair’s back or arm. It mirrors the texture seen on the left but is more isolated, floating in the black space. The darkness between these elements removes any sense of surrounding room or environment, making the chair feel suspended and timeless.
The lighting is directional and controlled, emphasizing texture and form while allowing shadows to dominate. The overall mood is quiet and contemplative. The absence of a person draws attention to the chair as an object marked by use and waiting, suggesting presence through absence.

A black and white photograph shows a basil plant in a terracotta pot, viewed from slightly above. The pot is only partially visible beneath the foliage, allowing the basil to dominate the frame and appear almost suspended in space. Slender stems extend outward and upward, carrying clusters of broad, soft leaves with gently curved edges and clearly visible veins.
The leaves overlap and fan out in multiple directions. Some are sharply in focus, revealing fine surface texture and subtle tonal variations from deep gray to pale silver. Others fall gradually out of focus, dissolving into a soft blur that suggests depth and air rather than weight. This shallow depth of field gives the impression that the plant is floating, lifted away from its container.
The background is bright and uncluttered, fading smoothly from light gray to white, with no visible horizon or grounding elements. Light falls evenly across the basil leaves, emphasizing their organic structure without harsh contrast. The terracotta pot, darker and more compact, anchors the composition just enough to hint at gravity while allowing the foliage to rise beyond it.
The overall effect is calm and contemplative. The image conveys the theme “Get High” through levitation and detachment rather than physical height. The basil appears to hover gently, reaching upward into light, suspended between growth and weightlessness.

A black and white winter landscape along the Saint Lawrence River, photographed from a very low vantage point close to the snow. In the foreground, a thin crust of snow stretches across the frame, its surface granular and uneven, catching soft light in countless tiny highlights that suggest ice crystals and frozen air. Emerging from this frozen ground on the right side, a small, leafless shrub leans at an angle, its dark, spindly branches sharp and brittle against the pale sky. The branches reach outward and upward like exposed nerves, some broken or bent, others thin as wire, conveying fragility under the weight of cold.
Beyond the shrub, the river extends wide and flat, locked in ice. Its surface appears muted and textured, a patchwork of frozen plates and subtle ridges that blend into the horizon. The far shoreline is faint and distant, barely separating land from sky, with low silhouettes of trees and structures softened by haze and winter light. Above, the sky is overcast and luminous, a uniform blanket of cold brightness with delicate cloud patterns that diffuse the sun, offering no warmth.
The overall composition emphasizes emptiness and exposure. The low perspective magnifies the snow and places the viewer almost at ground level, as if feeling the cold radiating from the surface. The stark contrast between the dark branches and the pale surroundings reinforces the sensation of winter’s grip. There is no sign of human presence, only stillness, silence, and endurance, capturing the essence of cold as both a physical condition and an emotional state along the frozen river.

A black and white photograph taken from a very low vantage point, close to the snow-covered ground along the frozen shore of a wide river. The foreground is dominated by a smooth, gently sloping blanket of snow, soft in texture, with faint wind-carved ripples that catch the light. Rising from this low perspective is a simple wooden structure made of rough vertical and horizontal beams. Attached near the top is an octagonal stop sign reading “ARRÊT,” its surface worn and slightly scuffed, standing out in dark contrast against the pale winter sky.
Beyond the structure, a barge rests immobilized in ice. On it sit several wooden reclining chairs, neatly aligned and clearly intended for summer leisure, now surrounded by snow and silence. Their presence feels out of place, almost humorous, as if paused mid-season and forgotten. The frozen river stretches endlessly behind them, its surface uneven with ridges of ice and snow, merging slowly into the distant shoreline where low hills and scattered buildings fade into a soft gray haze.
The sky is overcast, luminous but subdued, with thin layers of cloud diffusing the light evenly across the scene. There are no people, no movement, only the quiet tension between human signs and objects designed for control or comfort, and a winter landscape that ignores both. The low viewpoint places the viewer almost kneeling in the snow, emphasizing humility, stillness, and the vast indifference of the frozen river.

A black and white photograph showing a row of tall evergreen trees in deep silhouette stretching horizontally across the lower portion of the frame. The trees form an uneven, jagged line, their narrow tops pointing upward like dark brushstrokes against the sky. Behind them, the sun sits low and partially hidden, its light diffused through thin cloud layers and filtered by branches, creating a soft halo rather than a sharp glare.
The sky occupies most of the image and is filled with delicate, flowing cloud textures that resemble wisps of smoke or fine fabric pulled across the light. The tonal range shifts gradually from pale gray near the sun to darker grays higher up, giving the sky a sense of depth and quiet movement. The contrast between the dense black of the trees and the luminous sky emphasizes the separation between earth and atmosphere.
A thin power line cuts diagonally across the left side of the image, faint but visible, introducing a subtle human element within the otherwise natural scene. The overall mood is calm and introspective, with no visible people or activity. The composition feels balanced and restrained, drawing the eye upward from the solid darkness of the trees into the expansive, textured sky, suggesting stillness, solitude, and the quiet passage of time.

A black and white self portrait shows a man from the shoulders up emerging from deep darkness. His bare upper torso and neck are softly lit, while the background dissolves into pure black with no visible detail. The light comes from one side, carving the contours of his face and leaving the opposite side partially submerged in shadow. His head is turned slightly toward the light, not fully facing the camera, creating a three quarter profile that feels contemplative rather than confrontational.
His eyes are visible and focused into the distance, not looking directly at the viewer, suggesting introspection or quiet thought. Fine details of skin texture are clearly rendered: subtle lines on the forehead, the grain of the cheeks, and the natural irregularities of age. His short hair is brushed back and gently illuminated along the top, catching highlights that separate it from the surrounding darkness. A trimmed beard and mustache frame his mouth and jaw, adding weight and maturity to the expression.
The lighting emphasizes structure over softness, defining the nose, cheekbones, and brow with precision while allowing shadows to remain dense and expressive. The boundary between light and dark cuts through the face gradually, not abruptly, creating a sense of depth and emotional nuance. No accessories, clothing, or contextual elements are visible, reinforcing the feeling of isolation and focus on the subject alone.
The overall mood is calm, restrained, and introspective. The photograph conveys presence without performance, vulnerability without exposure, and a quiet dialogue between light, shadow, and identity.

A close, intimate view inside a decorated Christmas tree. Evergreen needles fill most of the frame, their plastic fibers rendered sharply in the foreground while the background dissolves into soft blur. At the center hangs a small, glossy red glass ornament. Its spherical surface reflects a distorted miniature scene: the photographer’s silhouette, camera raised to eye level, faintly visible within the curved reflection. Around it, silver tinsel arcs through the composition, catching points of warm and cool light that bloom into circular highlights. The shallow depth of field isolates the ornament, leaving surrounding branches, lights, and decorations softly out of focus, creating layers of green, gold, red, and white. The image feels enclosed and personal, as if the viewer is peering into a private space within the tree. The reflection transforms the ornament into a subtle self portrait, merging festive decoration with the act of looking, where the photographer exists only as a fragile, curved echo inside the scene.

A black and white, tightly framed close-up fills the entire image with the surface of a knitted fabric, likely a sweater or blanket. The weave is clearly visible, forming vertical ridges that run from the top to the bottom of the frame, creating a strong sense of rhythm and repetition. Caught in the fibers are numerous fine, pale dog hairs, some short and embedded, others longer and lightly curved, resting on the surface like delicate lines drawn at random. The shallow depth of field keeps most of the texture crisp while allowing subtle softness toward the edges, emphasizing tactility. Light grazes the fabric from the side, revealing the relief of the knit and the contrast between the dark textile and the lighter hairs. There is no visible background, no context beyond the material itself, reinforcing the “Fill the Frame” theme. The image transforms an ordinary domestic detail into an abstract landscape of texture and traces, suggesting presence through absence. The scattered hairs quietly imply the daily coexistence with a dog, not through depiction, but through what it leaves behind.

A black and white photograph of a winter forest scene. In the foreground, a single tree trunk stands slightly off center to the right, its rough bark sharply detailed. Several horizontal bands of fresh snow cling to the trunk, resting naturally on ridges and crevices, as if gently placed by gravity and wind. The snow appears soft and uneven, contrasting with the dark, deeply textured bark beneath it.
Fine snowflakes are visible falling through the frame, captured mid air as small white specks. In the background, a dense stand of trees recedes into soft focus, their vertical trunks forming pale, blurred lines that create depth without distraction. The ground is covered in snow, blending into the lower background and reinforcing the quiet uniformity of the winter setting.
The overall mood is calm and restrained. There are no human traces, footprints, or signs of disturbance. The monochrome treatment emphasizes texture, contrast, and form rather than color, highlighting the relationship between wood, snow, and time. The image conveys stillness, seasonal passage, and the quiet persistence of nature during winter.

A snowy field stretches wide under a pale winter sky, its surface marked only by a faint path pressed into the powder by earlier footsteps. The perspective is low and instinctive, as if captured mid stride without premeditation, which enhances the feeling of immediacy at the heart of a shoot from the hip approach. In the center of the frame, a dog stands half buried in the snow, muzzle deep, body arched with curiosity. The harness on its back creates a dark contrast against its pale coat and the surrounding whiteness. The dog’s absorbed posture brings a quiet intimacy to the scene, as if the camera stumbled upon a small private moment of exploration. Around it, the landscape remains silent and untouched. Sparse reeds poke through the snow, fragile and thin, while the distant line of trees and houses draws a dark horizontal band near the horizon. Above them rises a towering electrical pylon, its lattice of steel faintly dissolving into the grey sky. The composition, wide and slightly tilted, feels spontaneous and uncorrected by intention, which becomes part of its charm. It conveys the sense of a winter walk where the photographer reacts to the world as it unfolds, letting the scene imprint itself without seeking control. The result is an image that mixes solitude, playfulness, and the humble rhythm of a moment observed from the waist level of a wandering human companion.

A black and white photograph taken from an elevated viewpoint inside the MNBAQ, the Musée national des beaux arts de Québec. The image captures a sweeping architectural staircase that curves gracefully through the frame, forming an almost sculptural loop of clean lines and soft shadows. Seen from above, the staircase reveals its full geometry, with wide steps fanning out in a smooth arc and a transparent glass railing tracing the curve like a fine thread of light. The structure descends toward a circular void at its center, where the lower level disappears into darkness, emphasizing the depth and fluidity of the design. Around the staircase, the building’s interior unfolds in sharp, modern planes: large windows set in angled steel beams bring in a diffuse daylight that brightens the upper part of the image and casts subtle reflections on the glass surfaces. The contrast between the bright exterior light and the quieter interior tones enhances the sense of movement and space. No people are visible, giving the scene a quiet, contemplative mood, as if the staircase were a suspended architectural gesture waiting to be explored. The interplay of curves, glass, and structural lines creates a feeling of elegance and calm, highlighting the modern, airy character of this wing of the museum.

A color photograph captures the heart of a water resistance rowing machine in mid-motion, seen in a tight, horizontal close view that focuses on the swirling tank. The machine’s warm wooden frame glows softly under ambient indoor light, its honey tones contrasting with the cool transparency of the water chamber. Inside the cylindrical tank, paddles churn the water into a rapid vortex, creating layered textures of turbulence, ripples, and refracted reflections. The rotating black paddle stands out clearly, half submerged and half blurred by motion, giving the impression of steady athletic effort just outside the frame. Light passes through the water and the acrylic shell, producing highlights that shimmer along the bottom curve of the tank like fractured glass. Above the chamber, belts and pulleys stretch across the top of the frame, hinting at the mechanical rhythm of rowing. A small caution label sits just above the waterline, adding a subtle touch of realism and equipment detail. The background, rendered in muted browns and grays, stays softly out of focus and allows the viewer’s attention to rest on the dynamic swirl of water. The overall effect blends craftsmanship, motion, and the quiet intensity of indoor training, turning a simple exercise machine into a vivid study of movement and force.

A single metal can of maple syrup stands on a rough wooden surface, illuminated by a thin, focused beam of light that cuts through an overwhelming sea of darkness. The scene is stripped to its essentials, with the can becoming both subject and anchor in an otherwise empty expanse. Its ridged surface catches the light in soft ripples, revealing delicate vertical highlights that curve with the cylindrical form. The printed text on the label is faintly legible, hinting at its Canadian origin, yet it remains secondary to the interplay of tone and texture. The wooden platform beneath it shows raw grain and uneven edges, adding an organic counterpoint to the clean industrial lines of the can. Everything beyond this small island of objects dissolves into deep black, creating a void that amplifies the solitude of the subject. The composition embraces extreme negative space, allowing stillness to bloom where detail fades. The photograph balances austerity with warmth, inviting contemplation of the ordinary through pure contrast, shadow, and quiet restraint.

Three camera lenses rest side by side on a clean desk, their polished metal and glass gleaming softly under natural light. Each lens faces the viewer directly, forming a quiet row of dark circles, three reflective eyes, each holding its own small world within. In the central lens, the foot of a computer display appears inverted and crisp, perfectly framed inside the curvature of the optics. It anchors the image in the workspace, the place where vision takes form, where thought and creation begin. The two other lenses, slightly larger, reflect more abstract shapes: the play of light across a keyboard, the geometry of a desk, the subtle blur of background shadows. Rendered in black and white, the photo is stripped of distraction, emphasizing line, reflection, and tonality. Around each lens, the engraved lettering: TTArtisan, 10mm,35mm, 50mm, carries a quiet sense of identity, like signatures of craft. The composition is minimalist but intentional, balanced between symmetry and individuality. These lenses are not trophies or luxury objects; they are instruments of return: symbols of slowing down, of feeling again the friction of manual focus and the deliberation of framing by hand. The light is calm and diffused, suggesting the intimacy of a studio or desk where the photographer rediscovers the joy of effort. This still life captures the poetry of process itself: the rebirth of vision through the simplicity of touch, patience, and control. It’s not a portrait of equipment, it’s a portrait of the artist’s rekindled relationship with seeing.

At the summit of La Dent d’Oche in France, a mountain goat stands facing the camera, its silhouette outlined by the dimming light of evening. Behind it, Lake Geneva stretches far below, its surface reflecting the pale glow of the descending sun. The air is filled with the soft hues of dusk, rose, blue, and gold blending into a quiet haze. The goat’s gaze meets the viewer’s, calm yet alert, as if it has paused in its ascent to acknowledge this shared moment at the edge of day. The backlight outlines the texture of its fur, each strand kissed by light, while the foreground is scattered with alpine grasses and reddish moss catching the same golden tone. Far beyond, the world fades into distance, villages, hills, and the lake melting together in the stillness. There’s an intimate sense of presence: a creature of the mountain standing between solitude and serenity, evening and night, earth and sky.

A gloved hand emerges from the darkness, gripping a combat knife with cold precision. The hand, wrapped in black leather, catches a single beam of harsh light, every seam of the glove glistening faintly like sinew under tension. The blade itself, metallic and serrated, leans diagonally upward, half lit, half swallowed by shadow. Its surface is worn, textured by use, reflecting a dim silver glow that hints at movement beyond the frame. Behind it, a pale wall becomes a silent witness. A flat, indifferent canvas where the knife’s shadow stretches long and distorted, echoing the weapon’s outline like a ghostly twin. The composition is stark: light and dark split the image cleanly, the black void on the right contrasting violently with the illuminated wall on the left. The edge of what seems to be a doorway marks a threshold: an intrusion, a crossing from safety into dread. No figure is visible beyond the hand; it’s as if fear itself were taking form, creeping quietly into a domestic space. The photograph’s atmosphere is tense and claustrophobic, yet meticulously composed. It evokes the stillness before impact, the silence that follows the breaking of boundaries, when the ordinary world is pierced by something cold, deliberate, and unseen. In the contrast between metal and leather, shadow and wall, the image captures not an act of violence, but the anticipation of it; an emotional freeze-frame of terror and control, precise as a nightmare that feels too real to wake from.

A close-up photograph of a single dry, curled leaf resting on a rough, sunlit surface, surrounded by other fallen leaves slightly blurred in the background. The leaf’s pale brown veins are sharply defined, its texture brittle and delicate, showing the marks of time: small tears, curled edges, and a paper-like fragility. The warm light of autumn afternoon caresses its contours, creating deep shadows that give it a sculptural presence against the stone ground. The perspective is intimate, shot from low level, placing the viewer almost eye-to-eye with the fallen leaf, transforming what might be ordinary into a moment of quiet reverence. The background softly dissolves into warm hues of ochre and muted amber, evoking the comforting melancholy of late autumn days. There’s no wind, no motion. Just stillness, silence, and the subtle poetry of decay. The photograph speaks of cycles and memory: the end of a season, the fading of warmth, the beauty in what remains behind. It invites reflection on impermanence and the dignity of small things, showing that even in their final moments, leaves can hold light and grace. The image feels tactile, intimate, almost meditative. A pause before winter arrives, a visual whisper about time passing and the quiet resilience of nature in decline.
An evidence of the passage of time, sure tale of the end of summer evening.
