As night falls on any urban area artificial light takes over illuminating expanses in an attempt to recreate the even spread of daylight, however while some areas become well lit the light can become dispersed creating gradients of visibility. Tonal values also contrast from daylight with different colours and strengths furthermore changing the distribution. Light also becomes positioned for purpose to highlight, guide and create a feeling of safety. The area between these lights become ambient and fades into darkness a void between the visible and unknown. This feeling of unknowing naturally draws us to the light areas in order to give us position on surroundings.
In my project I plan to capture these differences in varied surroundings from city’s to suburbs. I will highlight the feeling of the journey and direction that lights creates as they illuminate the surroundings.
I felt like this blog needed finishing, the images above are my finals and the ones i presented in my part of the exhibition and in turn got me to University of Wales Newport: BA Documentary Photography.
