Professional fine art black and white photograph Annapolis Maryland

"I capture fine art images of abstraction, life, international uninhabited landscapes,
abandoned history, historical elements, unique portraits, and architectural features
exclusively on black and white film. I believe that the viewer is prone to enhanced
interpretation of a photograph with the absence of color. I hope you enjoy viewing the
various black and white photography portfolios, as much as I enjoy making the images."
- David Ashman

Introducing new work from the series Human Resources

Today’s society is very fast paced - one that thrives on instantaneous gratification; dismissing material
items and human feelings at an alarming rate... corporations concerned only with the next low-
cost/faster solution, speed dating events, disposable internet based media, marital breakups similar to
leaving an acquaintance after a first date.

Human Resources is presented as a critical mass series of dozens of solarized gelatin silver prints
depicting human form, rushed through the exposure and developing process. The result is a look of
passed-over images which parallel life in a “need it now” society. The subjects are everyday people who
laugh, smile, dream, ones who are dedicated to their career & family; young and old – no one seems
immune. It is my hope that these images generate a greater awareness of what we miss by not slowing
down and taking notice of the beauty that surrounds us.
