Each time I look at Vernon Trent’s images, I see something new — usually an artifact of the gritty side of life. It’s not just that so much of his photography is shot in darker tones, but that he utilizes shadows and light in such a way that I feel like I’m seeing so much more of the subject than I would even if I were standing right before it.

Perhaps it is the years of experience that he has behind a camera, but it might be the way he looks at the world. He has a keen insight into the corners of life that many of us miss. So often his photography is not simply that of a moment; he sheds the veneer of the external shell and delves deeper into what is actually being communicated by a subject, whether it is a person, a piece of architecture, or an abstract.

There is always something more to Vernon’s photography.
