Black(out) & White(ness) is a personal project of (mostly) black and white photographs and illustrations. I started making them on my journey through Marokko. A land that fascinates me with it’s obsession of patterns in architecture, fashion and graphic design. I was curious about the visual outcome of a reduced color palette and fascinated about the blurred line of “design” and “art”. I hope you’ll find looking at them as enjoyable as me making them. With this project I’ve improved my skills as a freelance art director and freelance illustrator.
