DescriptionSteve Pyke, a British photographer based in the United States, primarily produces portrait photography. He has photographed politicians, astronauts, film directors, artists, philosophers, and labourers. This image depicting a human skull is an anomaly in this regard. Pyke’s c-type print captures wonderful effects of light and shade which heighten the moody and sombre atmosphere of the image.This image is part of a portfolio of 30 photographs published by Zelda Cheatle in 2003 to celebrate 15 years of exhibitions in her London gallery. The artists included in this collection reflect Cheatle’s aim to highlight the work of important twentieth century photographers while at the same time exhibiting and supporting emerging artists. The photographs range from digital prints to silver gelatin prints and cyanotypes.
