S H Bean ~ Photographer

1) In General: The Restricted Light project rejects the bourgeois concept of the certainty of a Photograph. That it is a mirror, even truthful representation of what things are.

2) Restricted Light: Color Abstracts are defined by the space; which at certain times of the day is contested by natural light and artificial light. Under these conditions there is an abundance of color.

3) What is captured in the Photograph is not a object but an event, an event that is continually being shaped by transient nature of light and color, both from the outside and the inside. The works in the Early Light project come from the transient features of light and color.
