Nathaniel Wallace Black and White Photography

Although he favors color photography, Nathaniel has been experimenting with medium format black and white images in the last two years. This print from a digitized medium format negative is a scene from a medieval courtyard in Provence and is one of four black and white photographs in the current exhibition “Locations/Dislocations: Abandoned Houses and Unsheltered Souls.” Many people comment that Nathaniel Wallace’s photograph have a “painterly” quality to them. That undoubtedly comes from years of analyzing paintings for his critical writing as well as from his wife’s influence as a painter.

The small black and white painting at left is number fourteen in my series “Thirty-three Days of the Puma.”
