Limited Edition Print - S-Form - No 1 of 5.
Figurative Study: The S-Form.
Selling No 1 of 5.
Price: US$700
This piece, titled "S-Form," departs from the deep shadows of the previous studies to present a more complete, lyrical view of the figure. While still maintaining the collection's signature monochrome aesthetic, this photograph uses a broader range of mid-tones to capture the fluid, serpentine line of the body. The upward-reaching pose creates a dynamic "S" curve that guides the eye from the extended leg through the torso to the delicate placement of the hands.
The lighting in this study is softer and more expansive, illuminating the muscular structure and skeletal grace of the subject with a painterly quality. By showcasing the interplay between the arched back and the raised arms, "S-Form" highlights a sense of balance and intentionality. It serves as a light-filled counterpoint to the more obscured pieces in the series, celebrating the human form as a harmonious, living sculpture.

Artist Biography.
Roger Dietrich is an Australian contemporary fine art photographer celebrated for his powerful command of black-and-white tonality and narrative lighting. Based in Regional NSW, his work focuses primarily on the human form, often employing dramatic natural and soft artificial light to explore themes of isolation, inner conflict, and transcendence.
His signature style—marked by minimalist compositions—transforms the figure into a sculptural, timeless symbol. Roger's works have been exhibited in Australia, including in galleries in Sydney and could potentially be held in notable private collections across Europe, North America and around the world.
