Book Launch & Signing
Mapping Subconsciousness
“There is a spectral nature in photography - it can have a dark, absorbing element to it - something between life and the afterlife. It is like a time capsule that grants you the magical tool to go back and forth in time and make the now look like a timeless place in the void.”

Escaping the ordinary
Surreal. Otherworldly. Seductive. Haunting. These are a few words that come to mind when looking at the work of artist Marcus Schaefer. We at Darklight Art have long been obsessed with his work, so we were thrilled to catch up with him last month ahead of his exhibiting at KunstRai Amsterdam and Photo Basel 2021.

Dazed Beauty - Issue I
This series of eerie portraits was commissioned for the first issue of Dazed Beauty and shot in collaboration with hair stylist Eugene Souleiman, showing his alternative vision of beauty. We wanted to create something dark, mystic and earthy and not something that felt cosmetic and traditional. By blurring outlines and modulating tones I wanted to allow one form to merge into another to create a magical dark sensibility.
