Pacific Plaza Dallas Canopy Light Pattern Black and White Photography
Bright Openings Trace a Sweeping Arc Above the Park
Standing directly beneath the Pacific Plaza pavilion, I was drawn to the light passing through its perforated surface. I photographed this Dallas view in 2021, framing the canopy as a broad sweep overhead with the downtown towers rising beyond it. In this vertical composition, the small bright openings occupy a large part of the image, giving the structure an almost star-like pattern.
I like how the curved edge gathers the scene together. It travels from high above the camera, bends towards the buildings and continues across the lower part of the frame. Panel seams introduce longer lines among the points of light, while an opening near the upper left reveals another structural detail. The photograph offers several scales of pattern within the same surface.
Below, slender supports descend towards the park. Trees, grass and small seats keep the view connected to a public place at ground level. The towers bring straight sides and repeating window grids into the open area inside the canopy’s curve.
Black and white suited my interest in these relationships of light, shape and structure. The dark overhead surface makes the bright openings clear, and the tower faces provide another range of tones. For me, the photograph encourages the act of looking up and noticing how a designed space changes from beneath it. As a print, it offers a strong Dallas architectural composition whose smaller details reveal themselves gradually.

About My Fine Art Photography
Every photograph in my collection comes from my own travels, explorations, and years behind the camera.
I create my work as photographic art rather than mass-produced decoration. From street portraits and abandoned places to landscapes, architecture, and the unusual subjects I discover along the way, each image begins with something that made me stop and look.
My photographs are available in multiple sizes so the same image can work in anything from an intimate wall space to a large statement installation.
