Black and white images; Between the darkness and the light by Patryk Pulawski

My main focus in photography is to show the beauty of landscapes and architecture without the colors. I am a self-taught photographer with basic training in Photoshop.

My main focus in photography is to show the beauty of landscapes and architecture without the colors. I am a self-taught photographer with basic training in Photoshop. I learn each and every single thing only by experimenting with my camera, post processing and trying different techniques.

I am just at the beginning of my journey and I’m still trying to find my look and style. However looking at images of photographers like Joel Tjintjelaar,  Julia Anna Gospodarou and other talented people I’ve felt in love with long exposure and black and white photography. I still have a lot to learn and explore but one of the most important skill I’ve have to learn is patience. I am my worst critic.

“Between the darkness and the light“ is my project of black and white images of all kind showing the beauty of places throughout the shades of black, white and gray colors. Some images are very dark to show the fight between the darkness and the brighter parts of an image filled with light that tries to free itself from the dark and present the form and shape visible to the eye.
