Dek Unu Magazine - Norm Diamond

In his portfolio for this month’s Dek Unu, American artist-photographer Norm Diamond, demonstrates a ninja master’s understanding of composition and visual semantics to take us deeply into each remarkable, emotionally-loaded image. Here’s a dark hotel room, the margins of its locked door sharply lit from the hallway, framing the way out, revealing the sleepless night within. Another shows a sunlit and green early summer day through a dark mahongany window frame, itself framed by heavy curtains, all enclosed in a still, shadow-shrouded parlor. These are views from inside looking out that do not let us forget that we are still inside.
