The images are in black and white, utilizing high contrast and natural lighting to create strong shadows and silhouettes. The compositions often feature close framing and off-center subjects, emphasizing introspection and intimacy. The use of monochrome enhances the textural details, with deep blacks and soft whites creating a somber, reflective mood.
