Monochrome: A Study in Light & Shadow

Local fine art photographer Steve Gallagher presents “Monochrome,” a selection of his black and white photographs exploring the interplay between light, shadow, and form.

“Monochrome” celebrates the timeless allure of black and white photography, capturing the delicate beauty of floral forms and the vast expanse of seascapes. Flowers take on a sculptural quality, revealing intricate patterns, textures, and shapes. Petals, stems, and leaves are rendered in striking contrast, each detail brought to life through the careful balance of light and shadow.

By contrast, the absence of colour in his seascapes transforms familiar coastal scenes into dramatic, otherworldly landscapes. The movement of waves, the vastness of the horizon, and the interplay between water and sky are captured in striking tonal variations, evoking a sense of endlessness and timelessness.

The contrast of delicate florals and majestic seascapes invites viewers to reflect on the beauty found in nature’s quiet, enduring forms.
