MOMENTS
in black & white
The Complete Series
by Chris Page
2026
This series gathers twenty-four photographs made over time, across places and among people, united not by subject but by a way of seeing.
Each image records a moment encountered rather than arranged, a convergence of light, gesture, structure, and atmosphere
that revealed itself briefly and then passed.
Working in black and white allows these moments to exist outside the distraction of colour, where tone, contrast,
and form carry the emotional weight of the scene. What remains is not description, but presence.
Presented here as a complete body of work, the photographs are intended to be experienced slowly,
as a sequence rather than as individual statements. Connections emerge gradually,
between stillness and movement, solitude and trace, permanence and erosion.
These are not images of places alone, but of time held in suspension.
These photographs form the editioned print series from MOMENTS in black & white, presented here as a complete body of work.
Within the paired book edition MOMENTS in black & white and MOMENTS in colour & light, the series expands
to include additional photographs and extended reflections on their making, offering a broader
and more contemplative encounter with the project.
Seen on the printed page rather than on the wall, the images unfold more slowly, inviting
a sustained engagement with the quiet intervals from which they emerged.
