Marshall Gould’s sharp, high contrast black-and-white photographic images can be characterized by diagonal framing, clean compositions, dramatic highlights and strong, luxurious shadows. Often taking documentary-style shots on location, Gould’s latest subject matter might involve a landscape of the American West, a series of equine images documenting the relationship between a mare and her newborn foal, a homeless person, or a culture/lifestyle image, making these gritty, regional works as conceptually dense as they are compositionally superb. Usually incorporating elements of the earth and/or sky, Gould’s works are about co-existence and reference the stylistic philosophies of early black-and-white “Golden Age” photography
