In the artist’s words:

Joseph O’Neill. In this portfolio I draw inspiration from the art of minimalism. By using modern technology I have created photographs that are both true to the artist and the definition of minimalism but convey a modernist approach. These photographs bring about a heightened sense of drama, intense images communicated by the use of high contrast black and white with crisp clean lines of the geometric form, but with a certain amount of realism.
