Capturing the Essence

Delve into the depths of street photography, where every frame tells a story. Each monochromatic shade seizes the unfiltered emotion of the moment, stripping away all distractions.

Explore the world through a lens that sees beyond colour, embracing the true essence of a scene in its purest form.

I am Michael Reason, and very passionate about black and white photography. London is home, which provides access to some of the most captivating backdrops for exploration. Each street, each alleyway, bears witness to stories waiting to be told. The absence of colour in my work serves to distil the essence of these moments, stripping away the distractions and allowing the raw, unfiltered emotions to take centre stage.

I focus on the subtle interplay of light and shadow, capturing fleeting expressions and the grit of urban existence. The iconic architecture juxtaposed with everyday scenes creates a tapestry of contrasts that speaks volumes. Each photograph aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection, encouraging viewers to see beyond the surface and engage with the deeper narratives woven into the fabric of life.

Black and white photography not only highlights textures but also lends an air of timelessness to my work, inviting the audience to pause, ponder, and connect with the profound beauty found in the ordinary. Through my lens, I strive to offer a unique perspective, celebrating the intricacies of the human experience.
