Contemplation - Self Portrait January 2026

Working on a series of self-portraits for the soul. Finding the light is a literal and metaphorical process.

#PortraitPhotography #MensPortrait #CreativeHealing #HealingJourney #Photography #SelfPortrait #Chiaroscuro
A moody, low-key self-portrait of a man with glasses resting his chin on his hand in a pensive pose. He wears a black tank top, and his muscular shoulders are highlighted by a soft, directional light. The background features a striking olive-green texture with organic, branch-like shadows stretching across it. The overall atmosphere is intimate, quiet, and deeply contemplative.

Don't Blink

I found this light gracing an alleyway and half-expected to hear a familiar wheezing sound. No time traveling Gallifreyan in a blue box showed up, so I just settled for grabbing this shot.

A vertical, cylindrical wall sconce emits a warm, honey-colored amber glow against a dark, moody background. The fixture's sleek black frame and diffused orange panel strongly resemble the architectural aesthetic of a TARDIS console room or Gallifreyan technology. To the left, deep shadows and geometric architectural lines create a sense of mystery, as if the light is illuminating a corridor in a spaceship or an ancient, alien temple

String Theory
​
I like my cityscapes like I like my thoughts: tangled, high-contrast, and held together by a very thin wire. Just hanging in there today.

#Architecture #StreetPhotography #LeadingLines #Monochrome #Photography #colorado #denver #frontrange #sonyalpha
A high-contrast, black and white vertical shot looking up at a modern brick and concrete building. Two strings of outdoor cafe lights stretch from the bottom center toward the top corners, forming a V-shape that leads the eye into a dark, textured sky. The lighting is moody, turning the architectural edges into sharp white lines against deep black shadows.

​The Seed Shakedown

Local crow-adjacent resident caught mid-heist. Honestly, the level of dramatic tension here for some free sunflower seeds is a lot.

A dramatic, high-contrast monochrome photograph of a grackle at a wooden bird feeder. The bird is captured in profile, standing on a wooden rail with one leg extended forward, gripping the wire suet cage. Its bright, wide eye is catching the light, giving it a surprised or intense expression against the dark, moody background.

Goth Summer

While every other sunflower is out here being aggressively cheerful, this one is listening to Hawthorne Heights and trying to decide which all black fit looks best.

Honestly? Same.

#Macro #Photography #DarkAesthetic #DarkCottageCore #Shadows #FineArtPhotography #VillainEra #SonyAlpha
A cinematic macro shot of a 'Black Magic' sunflower. The petals are a deep, bruised burgundy-red, almost black in the center where a honeybee is hard at work. The lighting is moody and directional, catching the golden fuzz on the green stem like tiny halo lights. The background is a soft, dark blur of a garden.

Rock Bottom (The Scenic Version)
​
Some days you scale the mountain, some days you just take its picture and call it a day. Finding a little stability in the landscape.

#LandscapePhotography #Monochrome #MountainMonday #Nature #Photography #BnW #ColoradoPhotographer #Sierras
A wide-angle, high-contrast black and white photograph of a massive, jagged mountain peak. Sunlight hits the granite face, highlighting deep crevices and rocky textures, while a dark evergreen forest sits in the foreground. Large, fluffy white clouds drift across a dark sky above the summit.

Navigating my Shadows - Self Portrait January 2026

Working on some self-reflection via a portrait series. This series is part of a healing journey I’m learning to navigate. Currently finding better lighting for myself.

#SelfPortrait #HealingJourney #Chiaroscuro #Monochrome #PortraitPhotography
​A low-key, high-contrast monochrome self-portrait in deep shadow. A single source of light from above illuminates the side of a man's face, his glasses, and his shoulder, leaving the rest of the frame in pitch black. He is looking downward in a contemplative, quiet pose.

Monolith Rendering

This building is definitely listening to The Cure. I’m just here for the sharp lines and the dramatic lighting

​A high-contrast, black and white photograph of a modern glass skyscraper taken from a low angle. The building's sharp corner cuts diagonally through the frame against a dark, smooth sky. A vertical strip of bright white reflections runs down one side of the dark windows, creating a striking highlight against the geometric grid of the facade.

Pattern in Repose

Finding rhythm in the late afternoon sun. I enjoy when something you may walk past hundreds of times turns into an eye catching sight under the right lighting.

#StreetPhotography #ColoradoPhotographer #Geometry #Minimalism
A dark metal mesh park bench sits on a concrete pad next to a walkway. Low sunlight from the side casts a long, detailed rectangular shadow across the pavement, revealing the intricate grid pattern of the bench's seat. The lighting is moody and warm, with dried grass visible in the foreground and background.

​Electric Blues

A quiet moment in the garden. Finding contrast in the shadows.

A vertical macro photograph of small, vibrant blue flowers with a honeybee landing on one. In the blurred foreground, a large orange daisy adds a warm contrast against a dark green foliage background.

Contemplation: Self Portrait - January 2026

The beginning of a self portrait series I've decided to undertake for myself this year. I always enjoy making others feel amazing in front of the camera and wanted to give myself the same treatment.

Theres something satisfying about these lines. I spent a bit getting this shot just right to capture the texture and lighting how I wanted. A favorite from this walk.
