Defining Shadows

In an era of digital manipulation, filters and color saturation, it is pleasing to see an artist embracing the traditions of monochrome photography. In these artworks Maureen Haldeman reflects upon a classic era of photography when black-and-white dominated – evoking the work of artists such as Man Ray, Edward Weston and Walker Evans – as she explores the inherent abstraction contained in architecture. All the while, Haldeman eschews the rules of architectural photography in pursuit of a deeper exploration of modern metropolitan life.
