Carlingfords Guiding Light — a solitary lighthouse surrounded by long-exposure sea and sky

Fine Art Photography

Michael McCafferty

Stillness. Space. Time.

S(t)ix — minimalist long-exposure study of isolated posts in calm water

Approach

The art
of less.

Through long exposure, isolation and negative space, I look beyond the obvious — reducing a scene until what remains is quiet, deliberate and open to interpretation.
