Work-in-Progress 3

In this series of photographs, I continued with this single light source and controlled any outside lighting from interfering. I found this type of lighting more focused as a series and that formally they were united. The lighting was also by natural domestic sources: the oven, kitchen and other room lighting. I also enhanced the human presence by tweaking the scene to have a slighting "off look". The tilted boat pictures reveals the movement of a person walking up the stairs bumping up against the wall. There is greater attention on time passing and the camera just missing the physical presence of a person in this domestic setting.

In the first two images, I experimented with darkening some of the scene to draw greater focus on certain elements of the photograph. The second image is the original edit with a general lightening to reveal the details of the closet. In the other image, I darken some of the clothing and only lighten the torn red sweater and some highlights. I also enhanced the red lighting on the right side and the blue lighting on the left side. I wanted to experiment with different light sources affecting the scene. This particular image is very much about the way the light sources add to the mood and I wanted to enhance this effect. Furthermore, darkening the image also created a bit of an unnerving mood with the mysterious blue light gaining more prominence.
