SHADOWS
NEW SHADOWS
2025 - ONGOING
Schiffer Noland Studio, that is both Peggy Schiffer and Sam Noland, have been looking at and taking pictures of shadows for years.
There is something different, and more defined involved in THE NEW SHADOWS Series. The new pictures are focused in more confined space, space we look at daily, at different times of day and in different weather. The shadows are sometimes elongated and distorted, sometimes they are saved not in still pictures but by way of video. Often, the pictures are black and white. The same limited subjects are photographed at different times of the year, and may cause confusion as corners are turned and angles are foreshortened or bent by the light
The very familiar, very ordinary shadows in these new images are disorienting sometimes while also being so familiar, equally to us as the photographers as is also the case for the viewer.
