Between the Walls

“The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson

Between the Walls is my attempt to capture the essence of a building, much in the same way Cartier-Bresson approaches portraiture: By getting between the structure and its façade, searching for secrets—imprints of the minds that conceived it and the hands that built it. 

Utilizing a high-contrast filter, the deep blacks and over-exposed whites seem a fitting palette to highlight the brilliant geometry of crude materials; and, like an x-ray image, to find a way between the walls, where mysteries hide.
