« I believe that the beautiful is not a substance in itself, but nothing but a drawing of shadows, a game of chiaroscuro produced by the juxtaposition of various substances, the beautiful loses its existence if we remove shadow effects »

“Praise  of the shadow” - Junichiro Tanizaki

I conceived this book as a series of pages, like a moving meditation which puts us in contact with life through solitude… of light and its shadows, shadows and lights; duality of the world.


Book review by Robin Titchener:


“Your book arrive today, totally awesome. I men..

It’s a monochrome widescreen journey into the heart of “noir” territory. Diminutive in size, epic in scope, it’s provides illusion and feeds imagination in equal mesures.

A new collection from French photographer David Nissen, one of the finest contemporary practitioners of low-light black and white, his new book “Out of The Darkness”.

Your feel for late night ambiance and dark/light confluence is amazing, I totally love it, WOW, the way you work with light and darkness, and shadows is absolutely wonderful.

One can really immerse into these pictures…a true jewel..”
