Shuttered Secrets: Every photograph chooses what to hide.

By Thomas Stone

Ethan Cole is a renowned landscape and expedition photographer obsessed with precision, truth, and the perfect frame. During a remote Arctic expedition, his camera begins capturing moments he cannot remember - figures that appear only in photographs, files that exist without being taken, absences that feel deliberate.

As isolation deepens and people start to vanish, Ethan is forced to confront an unbearable question: does photography document reality, or does it shape it?

Shuttered Secrets is a slow-burn psychological thriller rooted in the technical and ethical realities of photography - RAW files, histograms, exposure compensation, and the fragile boundary between documentation and manipulation. Dark, atmospheric, and unsettling, this novel explores obsession, authorship, and the cost of refusing to look away.

For readers who believe that every image tells the truth - and for those who know better.
