So I have attempted to take different shoots inside with varied lighting. Although success to an extent, I feel there is definitely something lacking.
Late afternoon light
Night-light
Grandma's LightI chose this subject, because of the perspective and angles that it provided. I have always been drawn to take photos that have a main focal point, which all lines in the photograph lead to. Although the angle never changes, I find how the differences in lighting, really affect the perception of the subject/image. The original photo, you eye is drawn along the cabinets and towards the doorway. Yet the final image, your eye is pulled immediately to the door, the dark hallway only making this pull stronger. An interesting aspect of the middle image, the night light, is your eye is teased by the reflection of the light on the floor. While the focal point is still the doorway, you are distracted by the light and reflection that are not centered in the photo.
The subject matter could definitely be more interesting, yet I do find the concept of a doorway to be very intriguing. I feel the mystery of wondering where the door leads, whats around the corner and who might be there, teases the mind. Although simply a hallway downstairs in my house, I find the ability to toss around such fantasy. The photographs aid to such perceptions and the varied lighting demonstrates how value and hue play an essential role in the interpretation and mood of a photograph.
I hope to continue this assignment and to have example with outside lighting. I feel it offers much more than inside. Although there are many things you can do with studio lighting, reflective lighting, spotlights etc.. I find nature light and its many possibilities to be very captivating.
For the sake of comparison, here are a couple other shots that I took of the hallway.
