Santa Fe contemporary photographer, Jane Sobie, embraces a less is more minimalist aesthetic. She finds beauty in simplicity, and the extraordinary in the ordinary. Jane is an award-winning writer and photographer and views minimalist photography as poetry without words.

I’m a shadow hunter. Or maybe they hunt me. The interplay between sunshine and shadow captivate me. During the ‘golden hours’, after sunrise and before sunset, the dance of light is magical.
