I absolutely love the lighting in your photos! Something I’d really like to learn more about. Your photos have such subtil lighting, they convey a great atmosphere.
Thank you, Danny! First of all, let me say that I find the lighting in your pictures quite intrguing. As for Gregor, all I knew at the beginning was that I did not want to show the “Ungeziefer” [vermin] too plainly. I wanted its shell to glare out of the dark corner (and then had to deal with casting some light on the people) – except for the black-and-white photo which was supposed to be made as carelessly as it is crass. For pictures 2 to 4, a desk lamp did the job … plus a stage set with cut out ‘windows’…
Tobias, I love this series of six. As a lover of Kafka, your photos really evoke the terror and surreal nature of his writing.
And like Dwaas, I love the lighting. Wonderful!!
Thank you so much Shelly – and for making this possible. It is pleasure to be here.
I sometimes wonder what one would see in this mini series if I had not said a word about Kafka or ‘Metamorphosis’…
Tobias, as one who “pushes” posts out to other social media platforms, I have to see posts before they get published. I normally don’t like to have the surprise ruined for me.
However, your post had me mesmerized. I feel a little guilty that spent so long with each photo before everyone else got to! The light, shadows, subject, the B&W shot added to the mix, the overall atmosphere were just perfect. Thanks.
Thank you, Brett! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Just wow. I’m amazed.
Thanks, Tomek!
Woooow! Very very nice!
