Traits

Movement

DocumentaryObservational Photography

Unstaged observational photography in the reportage lineage — real people, places, and events recorded as found, in available light, with no constructed set.

Treatment

DuotoneTwo-Colour Separation

Imagery reduced to two inked colours over the paper, where the restriction of the palette itself is the visible decision.

Medium

PhotoWorkPhotograph

A photograph presented as an image in its own right — camera-made and shown for itself, rather than as the raw material of a poster, spread, or cover.

Subject

BuiltFormArchitecture & Interior

Constructed space as subject — facades, interiors, and the geometry of the built environment.
