Sparkling World: Seven Black and White Photographs of Magical Raindrops

Keith Dotson's minimalist portfolio of dramatic, beautiful raindrop photographs

Rain and raindrops have always been a significant theme in the work of fine art photographer Keith Dotson. He is drawn to the chilly mood and silence of a gentle rainy day. Raindrops offer a sparkling alternative world, with treetops curved and bent into tiny, upside-down spheres.

Shot with wide apertures, these minimalist photographs are simplified by soft, out-of-focus backgrounds.
