Shadowlands Photography
()
About this ebook
Shadowlands is a photographic concept edition accentuating contours, silhouettes and dominant color compositions of 150 photographic images. Many of the images are recognizable icons and landmarks. They are transformed into graphic arts appearance by employing photo imaging software.
The accompanying shadows create a foreboding and often sinister impression. The result is a glimpse into the unconscious white space that frames and lightens photography.
Photographer Marques Vickers has assembled a diverse portfolio of internationally compiled images. Their reverse lighting reinvents the impression, often upsetting our conventional interpretation of their substance and matter.
The effect mirrors the surrealists’ notion of superficially unseen structures that open the portal for interpretative meanings.
Imagery is enabled to transcend precise and simplistic definition.

Shadowlands
We exist in a land of shadows…phantoms of illusion, perspectives defying illumination. The white space framing substance and matter offers signs of a universe we opt to ignore. In the pensive stages between twilight and daylight, we rarely question the probability of spirits amongst the unseen objects. In dreams, the concrete becomes vapor and we are often left with unsettling glimpses and impressions.
This world is but a mirage and our vision of substance is viewed through a deceived lens. Look beyond the concrete and view the silhouettes of form. You will finally enter
