Nocturne Still Waters – Black & White Fine Art Canvas of Woman in Water

Nocturne

A mood of silence, solitude, and surrender.

Captured in a quiet garden pond, this image holds a moment that feels almost ritualistic. I photographed Maxine in the still water natural pool pond at the bottom of a friend’s garden, a private and intimate setting where time seemed to soften and slow.

The late afternoon light fell gently across the surface, and the water held her in a state of calm and suspension. There is something almost ceremonial in the stillness. A quiet release. A return.

Shot on analog film and later digitized, the image embraces grain as both texture and intention. Soft, imperfect, and atmospheric, it feels less like a photograph and more like a memory. Something sensed rather than seen.

This piece carries a sense of depth, introspection, and quiet emotion. Stillness made visible.
