Robert Brook – Ghost in the Machine

“Brightness set against dark space, the tangible 'here' against the unknowable 'there'.”

Light and dark in the emptiness of the industrial landscape – Robert Brook’s ‘Less Light’ photographs find brilliance and brightness best in the blackness of an empty, commercial night.  Shooting warehouses, crumbling roads, storage facilities and just plain trash in London, Wrexham, Essex, and other UK locations, Brook finds that “it is not the strength of light which is an issue, but its difference.”  Visually stunning images and timely economic narratives are the result.  His night work has been published widely in the UK, Europe and the United States.
