ABSENT COMPANY

A collection of black and white prints developed in my own photographic darkroom. Street photography from the summer of 2025 in Amsterdam, New York City, Philadelphia, and Virginia exploring topics of burnout and male loneliness.

A man hunched over on a bench by the Hudson, a moored lightship and the skyline beyond
A man walking away down an empty sidewalk beneath an overpass
A flock of birds scattering above a bare tree beside a brick building
A man sitting alone on a bench beside an Amsterdam canal
A hotel sign, its five weathered letter panels unlit against a white sky
A man pausing at the mouth of a metro entrance, pigeons lined along the roof
A shirtless man resting on a fountain rim in a fenced city park
A concrete overpass draped with vines above dense woods
Transmission towers marching away through an overgrown field
A chain-link gate padlocked across an empty lot, a graffiti-covered shed and derelict brick factory behind it
A man on a low brick wall absorbed in something in his hands, parked vans behind him
A man bent over his phone on a stool outside a shuttered bar
Two men sitting apart on a long bench, seen from behind
Sunlight and railing shadows across dark canal water beside a moored boat
A man checking his phone on a wall above the water, a film museum and tower opposite
A man writing at the railing above the East River, the Brooklyn Bridge behind him
A man sitting at the edge of a fountain, a bronze figure mid-stride behind him
A puddle on brick paving holding the reflection of clouds
A low concrete jetty reaching out into open, wind-textured water
A young man in white waiting alone at a curb, scaffolding overhead and a Now Leasing banner across the street
An empty underpass, its columns and strip lights receding into the dark
