CURVEBALL:
ultra
modern
monochrome.

I am not unique in being attracted to vivid, rich, psychedelic colours in any context, but my primary fascination is for abstraction and minimalism.

​

Monochrome photography and art overlaps abstract and minimalist imagery.

​

We do not see in black and white, so to deliberately film monochromatically or convert to greyscale is in itself an abstraction. 

​

To dilute or completely desaturate  colour in order to enhance and focus on form, texture or detail is a reduction and minimising of the original. 

 

Some really good monochromatic imagery has a greater emotional impact than its saturated version. JME
