Lance Mcfee lives in Kansas City and has worked on commercial and portrait assignments before transitioning his focus to black and white film photography in 2020. While working as an architectural photographer on the commercial end, he began traveling to destinations with his film camera to capture image collections which have been showcased in numerous exhibitions.
Artist Statement
Photography was the first thing that truly spoke to me — a language made of light and shadow. I remember seeing an image that felt both haunting and beautiful, and it awakened something in me. That moment pushed me to create, to explore how darkness could reveal just as much as light.
As I learned to shape light, I became drawn to the quiet spaces between clarity and obscurity — the moods that live in contrast and stillness. My work leans toward the abstract, guided more by emotion than representation. Each image is less about documenting what is seen and more about evoking what is felt.
I’m fascinated by how photography transforms the ordinary into something unfamiliar — how texture, tone, and shadow can stir memory or tension. Through my images, I aim to create a sense of mystery and introspection — a space where light doesn’t just illuminate, but reveals what often remains unseen.
