Beautiful Lighting

Andy Goldsworthy

    My belief is that the natural light in nature is one of the most beautiful lights. The changing of the day can show changes in mood and atmosphere. I chose Andy Goldsworthy as an example of beautiful lighting because he creates scultures that interact with the natural lighting around the works that he creates.They both interact with the light and are created from the light. The sculptures are created with the mood in mind and are framed by the environment themselves.

Rarindra Prakarsa

   I also chose a work by Rarindra Prakarsa because of his use of mood in photography.  He also is amazing at composition. This work in particular uses a lot of the same compositional techiniques that we talk about. It just about puts the focus of attention in the right third but also directs the eye with the use of one point perspective. The low key lighting shows a starkness between the left side of the picture and the right but it also has a softness to the light that portrays a somber mood in the work.

I've included a couple more of his works so you can get an idea of his style of photography:
