The light fights for life, but the shadow swallows all.
The Dark Side is my take on the look of harsh, studio-lit animal portraiture in the field. Taken under the late-morning sun of Botswana, every bit of light and shadow was already present in the scene. My job was to extract what was there.
What resulted feels almost removed from the environment in which it was taken. Less a portrait of an animal on safari and more a study of shape, texture, and light.
