Solid blacks, bright whites and every shade of grey in between: Chicago-based photographer Jason Peterson is a monochromatic master of street photography. Exploring the alleys and streets predominantly of Chicago and New York with his camera or smartphone - always with his headphones on since music is a huge inspiration for him - Jason creates powerful compositions bursting with contrast. He sees his images as a study of massive urban scales vs the human condition.
We asked Jason some questions, questions Jason could only answer with his images…
