As I was completing the weekly assignment I began to appreciate the abstract nature of these photos, from that I thought back to the final shot of my second project: a shot designed to represent death. This photo was abstract and confrontational, in a way quite a depressing way to end the series.
It occurred to me that this style ties into the way horror films are presented; The strong contrast between light and darkness creates the suspense in early horror films, an effect that would not work if the scene was completely dark, or brightly lit. Therefore I hope to extend this effect to create a series that explores how light can create a sense of horror in otherwise normal environments.
