Light Projects

What caught my attention is the way that the panes of glass were different shades of blue, with the exception of the one lone red pane, and how the patterns of glass created an abstract image of the chair outside.

 My first shot of her was the sun shining through miniblinds and creating streaks of lights, with one beam of light illuminating across her eyes. The sun was a little bright and stark, and really didn't give me the exposure I was hoping for. But the sun went behind some clouds and created a softer effect, which is what I was looking for. I like how the shadows are created on the side of her face and by her cheeks. I also like how you can only see a few curls, and her collar and shoulder seem to fade into the shadow. The chair brings the foreground and backround together, is out of focus, the green tones blend with her dress, but also adds a little bit of contrast with the studs and wood.

  

The pattern on the glass has a raised pattern. So when it was placed in front of light, the raised edges reflect the light in different ways. The way that the light comes though the blue flowers create the shadows.

Although it's a cold winter's day, the sun and tones create warmth. The sun and blinds are reflected off of the clock's face, and the blinds also create shadows in the curtains. I like how the soft off-white curtains are just enough of the photo to create contrast against the dark metal framed clock, yet it is all brought together with the glass of the window and clock's face.

...and just for fun....

my son had fun helping me create some light images
