Light And Shadow, Joshua Feingold

Quadrivium: A Journal of Multidisciplinary Scholarship

My first artistic photographs were in black and white. This form of photography promotes the use of strong graphical elements, a concept that is expressed in these images. I hope that the interplay of light and shadow provokes special insights into the natural world.
