One of my favorite things about photography is the use of lighting and color to give a whole new meaning to a subject. The geometry and makeup of a subject matter has its own allure, in the sense of choosing what angle you want to snap the shot at, making them more visually interesting, but the entire mood of a piece can shift based on the color and brightness of what you’re seeing. Though in part because I have not yet experimented with the brighter options that my Cannon has to offer, I find it much more intriguing to explore the power of darkness in my photos. Sadness and fear, though often seen negatively in our modern world, are often a lot more fun to experiment with in the art world for just how raw it can get. For this collection of photos in particular, I used a low ISO and deep shadows to capture elements of the building I live in, along with an extended metaphor of a building being comparable to a living body, to create an incredibly ominous and foreboding experience through each capture.
Enjoy.
