Traits

Palette & Light

MonochromeBlack & White

Colour removed to a single tonal channel, forcing contrast, texture, and tone to carry the whole image.

Layout

FrontalSymmetrySymmetry

Highly structured, perfectly centered focal points emerging from negative space.

Treatment

AnalogNoiseGrain / Texture Check

Heavy analog noise, rough scans, and tactile textures serving as an authentic defense against smooth AI perfection.

Medium

CollageWorkCollage & Photomontage

Work built by cutting and recombining existing material — paper, print, photographs, scanned ephemera — where the seams between the parts are part of the image rather than something hidden.

Subject

FigureWorkHuman Figure

The body as primary subject — portraiture, fashion figure, and the crowd.
