Kyle Thompson’s imagery brims with suggested narratives – they are suspended in time, ephemeral moments in a nonexistent storyline, frozen timelessly within his photographs. Each unchanging tableau suggests possibilities that prickle the imagination - - but without a beginning or end to each story, they exist, unchanging, outside of time.
Born in Chicago, Kyle Thompson began gravitating to photographing abandoned homes and empty forests - - so maybe it seemed natural to move to the enchanted green, moss-covered woods of Eugene, Oregon. It was in this amazing part of the world that I had the privilege to work with Kyle on a project for the Lytro Illum camera - click here to see a short video he is featured in.
