Waterfalls

Denver-based artist Jonathan Knight captures waterfalls across California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado in a moody, minimalist style. Photographed shortly after sunset, his black-and-white images emphasize the shape of the water against darkened landscapes, using low contrast to highlight the natural beauty of each cascade. Knight describes the project as focusing on "the figure of the waterfall against negative space," turning the flowing water into the central subject. His nighttime hikes often involved solitary treks through forests, illuminated only by a headlamp, where he occasionally encountered wildlife like elk or deer. Prints from the series are available on his website, and the full collection can be viewed online.
