Beneath the high vaults, light from the windows reflects across the floor.

The curve of the concrete stairs cuts through the shadows, while a small figure on the steps gives the space its scale.

The sky still holds a little light as the city’s first lights reflect in the river.

The warm light of the street meets a blue glow beneath the stone arch.

Fog softens the outlines of the gravestones, and a lone figure with an umbrella stands out in the middle of the path.

Evening city lights reflecting in calm water between modern buildings.

About

I photograph under the name Monolit. I’ve been taking photos for more than a decade, and I still enjoy just going for a walk with my camera. Even on a street I know well, a shadow on a building or a reflection in a window can make me stop. Sometimes I only notice a detail when I look back at the photo.

When I photograph architecture, I often move around to see it from a different angle. I might cross the street or step closer to see how the lines of the stairs, windows and walls fit together. In black and white, you can see how the light brings out the texture of concrete and stone. Sometimes a figure on the stairs is enough to show how big the space is.

On the street, I pay attention to ordinary moments. Someone crosses a patch of light, or disappears around a corner a second later. At dusk, I like watching the lights come on in the buildings. By the river, the first lights start to reflect in the water while the sky is still light.

I also photograph landscapes. I have a soft spot for fog because it makes even familiar places look different. Fog hides the details in the distance and draws your eye to what’s closer. I like photos that take a moment to reveal what’s in the background.

I choose photos for the gallery that I enjoy coming back to myself. Make yourself at home and take your time looking around.
