About the artist

Toby Kahn

I am fascinated by photography’s ability to consider and express the passage of time by stopping it or to suggest the past or future in one captured fraction of a second. I am interested in how a photograph may conjure or emphasize a subject by its very absence from the image. The edges of the frame are as important to me as the middle, and what I choose to leave out of the frame is as crucial to the meaning and content as what I choose to leave in. Therefore, I compose very carefully in the camera and always print the full frame.
