His photographs describe the relationship of the space around an object to that central object and all the other objects in the picture. In one picture of a girl looking a her hand, the walls on both sides of the room and the table at the bottom of the frame form a Renaissance perspective leaving the girl in a clearly defined central position with her hand sillouetted against the window. His technique isn't heavy...
