NOIR ELEGANCE

A shoot from February 2015, and the images it produced eight years later. Where the two demonstrably belong together, they stand side by side and the seam is left visible. Where they do not, each frame says what it is.

The Lexicon of this series

The Flesh
Angular, dynamic, porcelain. The skin is pale and smooth against a rough ground; the pose is sharp.
The Fiction
Industrial, arid, aggregate.
The Garment
Sartorial, masculine and feminine at once, minimal.
The Vibe
Defiant, monochromatic, stark.
The Lens
High-contrast, wide-angle, 35mm grain.
The Sound
Gravel crunch, wind hiss, minimal bass.
