In 8 years of shooting (yes, I'm a baby), I've moved in and out of variations of styles. But My primary street subject matter of dark/distressed/depleted has not changed, much to the detriment of "likes", but that's how I see the world. I've give through differing styles, tones, b/w color, pov, but what andhow I see has not changed. Keep your blacks black if that's your vision.
Beautiful! I also love deep contrast where the shadows get to be mysterious and create shapes in the composition. That way we get to let our imagination wander and make up stories of what happened in the darkness.
Great post, Marcel! I've been forever meaning to visit Utrecht.
Incidentally, I just listened to a terrific podcast episode featuring Ben Moser, the Pulitzer Prize winning biographer of Susan Sontag. Moser is an American who's been living in Utrecht for a long time and thinks it's the best city in the world. He and the host, Tyler Cowen discuss culture, art, life. A really good episode.
The place looks wonderful, I hope you can get to work on your project around the city. By the way, I'm a big fan of the pitch black tones in your style. 👍
It would be nice to see your project on Utrecht!

Will certainly do. It's important to do whatever you like. And stick to that!

Thanks, Xavi.
Ignore the critics, the deep blacks are gorgeous.
Thansk, and yes, I keep doing what I prefer.
i remember the first one from the archive and if i remember correctly i think i said at the time something about black 😉
Yes, probably too dark for your taste ;-)
Love them. I really like the high constrast and deep blacl for street photography.
Thank you.
