Sunset Avenue

Sunset Avenue is a series of flash photographs taken at sunset and inspired by my daily commute on a road with the same name in Springdale, AR. By using a flash, I was able to highlight everyday objects normally silhouetted this time of day. Many evenings, I only had a five minute window to capture a photo because this is the amount of time the sky’s red to blue gradient was just right. What began as an experimental technique evolved into a collection of contemporary minimalist photographs that are at both vivid and subtle, casting bold subject matter in soft pastels.
