On Empty Frames
A series about leaving things out — horizon, silence, and the discipline of negative space.
The hardest thing to photograph is almost nothing. A horizon, a wash of sky, a single subject swallowed by the space around it. Most of my early work was too full — I wanted to keep everything I had hiked so far to see.
These frames are an argument with that instinct. Leave it out. Let the silence do the work. The longer I make pictures, the more I trust the empty parts of them.
