Treasure Falls, Pagosa Springs, Colorado

This series explores how we perceive well-known landscapes through emotion and memory rather than literal representation. By presenting minimal black-and-white images, I offer a new perspective that encourages viewers to look closely and fill in what’s missing—mirroring how each scene gradually revealed itself to me in the dark.

Treasure Falls sits just off the highway near Pagosa Springs, but on this quiet evening, it felt worlds away. I arrived before sunset and made my way up a steep trail to photograph the falls in solitude. A fresh dusting of snow clung to the trees and rocks in the canyon, and the cascade shimmered in the cold evening light. I chose a slow shutter speed to give the water a soft, ethereal glow against the rugged terrain.

Waterfalls

Denver-based artist Jonathan Knight captures waterfalls across California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado in a moody, minimalist style. Photographed shortly after sunset, his black-and-white images emphasize the shape of the water against darkened landscapes, using low contrast to highlight the natural beauty of each cascade. Knight describes the project as focusing on "the figure of the waterfall against negative space," turning the flowing water into the central subject. His nighttime hikes often involved solitary treks through forests, illuminated only by a headlamp, where he occasionally encountered wildlife like elk or deer. Prints from the series are available on his website, and the full collection can be viewed online.
