Additional Details



Evans's most notable artistic achievements are his photographs of cathedrals, masterworks of light and shadow that beautifully employ the platinum technique. He sometimes spent as much as two weeks living in a cathedral studying the way natural light defined forms, and searching for relationships between light and dark.
