Every image is a gentle negotiation between the seen and the unseen.
Black and white portraits and minimalist places dissolve into a calm, lucid silence—where light sculpts the hidden side of the soul and architecture reveals its poetic geometry.
Moments suspended between consciousness and dream, memory and presence, a journey in the language of introspective visual and photographic poetry.
In ogni immagine si consuma una silenziosa trattativa tra visibile e invisibile.
I ritratti in bianco e nero e i luoghi minimali si dissolvono in un silenzio lucido—dove la luce scolpisce il lato nascosto dell’anima e l’architettura rivela la sua geometria poetica.
Attimi sospesi tra conscio e sogno, memoria e presenza, un viaggio nel linguaggio dell’introspezione visiva e della poesia fotografica.
You say I'm introspective? Give me some time to think about that.

Taken in La Gomera, Canary Islands. This was a peaceful moment during a trip, with the wind moving gently through the pine trees. The person sat still for a long time, looking out toward the sea and clouds. From that day, this was my favorite shot—simple, calm, and full of space.
Thanks for visiting. Comments are welcome.

4me4you recently had the pleasure of visiting Pontone Gallery, where the renowned Scottish artist Iain Faulkner presented his latest exhibition, “A Man Alone…”.
Known internationally for his evocative and introspective works, Faulkner's art invites viewers into the private world of solitude, reflection, and quiet beauty.
A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, Faulkner has spent years developing a distinctive style that merges traditional realism with a contemporary sensibility. His paintings capture moments of stillness and introspection, where the presence of solitary figures in expansive landscapes creates a poignant sense of quiet resilience.
In this latest series, Faulkner transports the viewer to the serene shores of Alpine Italy, where the idyllic vistas of Lake Como and Lago di Braies form the backdrop for his solitary figures. These peaceful, almost mystical settings invite deep reflection, mirroring the emotional landscapes of the figures within them. The artist’s work is not merely about isolation, but about the profound beauty and peace found in moments of solitude.
What sets Faulkner's work apart is the recurring figure that inhabits his paintings: himself. However, these are not traditional self-portraits. Far from the ego-driven portrayals often seen in art, Faulkner’s self-representation is humble and restrained. Dressed in a simple, unassuming white shirt, black trousers, braces, and sturdy shoes, the artist offers himself as an ‘everyman’, a figure that is relatable and grounded. Notably, Faulkner chooses not to reveal his face, leaving his identity to be inferred by his presence alone. This absence invites the viewer to step into his place, to become part of the scene and share in the experience of quiet reflection and awe.
Through these understated yet powerful works, Faulkner encourages us to pause, to stand alongside him, and to see the world through his eyes. By eschewing self-aggrandisement and choosing a plain, unremarkable appearance, Faulkner invites us to appreciate the world’s beauty not through a lens of distinction, but through the simplicity of shared wonder. His paintings become a quiet call to slow down and experience life’s profound beauty in a way that is intimate, humble, and deeply personal.
Took this on a trip to London. Silly things like this can make my day... It was like that the whole time I was there.

I really wasn't happy with the multiple exposure shot, so I decided to try one as a close-up self-portrait in B&W. I am happier with this attempt.
I intentionally darkened this photo as I wanted to create a solemn darker mood. I wanted you to ponder what I might be doing or thinking at the moment.
The flash was bounced off the ceiling and I was very close to the camera. I also used DSLR Remote Server to trigger my camera with my iPhone through my computer tethered. This does require that a Wi-Fi connection is used. All camera functions can be controlled through the iPhone including Live View. Best viewed on Black.

Richard Buckner.. introspective and totally hypnotic. Difficult to know when to applaud as he just blends one song into the next , almost if your not there at all, interspersed with dry humour and some great one liners... simply awesome in a mindwash sort of way.. enjoyed every second, but immediately afterwards.. could remember a thing..The photo however is blurred and noisy so best viewed from a distance... if at all . This guy was just so hard to shoot especially with my limited kit.. you can see from the photo that he sat out of the spotlight to far right almost behind the PA, the carpet behind him bathed in lovely light but this isn't about great photos its about great experience (or is it great butter.. I can never remember)
hula halau o kekuhi: an introspective of the past few decades' worth of competitive hula costume. white background shot with a 40" umbrella strobe set at 1/4 +.7 and a ceiling bounced strobe set at 1/2. white background that was color balanced and layer masked to 100% white, these images were shot 1/3 stop underexposed and pushed forward in post. a rare opportunity to document an amazing collection of competitive hula costuming!

Being introspective, seeking, solitude and withdrawing from the world, giving or receiving guidance.
