Commute

This black-and-white print features a man in a suit walking to work, set against a backdrop of sharp contrasts and deep shadows. The play of light and dark creates a dramatic atmosphere, emphasizing the crisp lines of the man's silhouette as he moves through the urban landscape.

The stark shadows add a sense of mystery and isolation, capturing the routine yet solitary nature of the daily commute in the city. The minimalist composition highlights the elegance and simplicity of the scene, evoking a timeless, contemplative mood.

For photographer Amadeus Long, photography initially served as a form of meditation—a way to escape his inner world and embrace the simplicity of seeing, rather than thinking. He began exploring photography at a time when he was deeply fascinated by society. Having reached a point in life where he felt the need to completely relearn how to engage with people, society, and the world, Long likened the experience to that of someone recovering from a major accident, relearning to use their limbs. In his case, it was about rediscovering how to use his mind and senses fully.
