Throughout my pictures I employ a lighting which is not naturalistic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
By appreciating the darkness when you design the light, you create much more interesting environments that truly enhance our lives.
A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.
My photography is mainly focused on my work making movies, which I've done my whole life. I think I have a perspective that not many people have. And I get to take advantage of all of the strange sources of light on a set.
Lighting is an essential way to change the mood of a room, especially if you can use dimmers.
Contrast is what makes photography interesting.
Light is everything in photographs and has to be considered in all situations.
I can go into the wilderness and not see anyone for days and experience a kind of space that hasn't changed for tens of thousands of years. Having that experience was necessary to my perception of how photography can look at the changes humanity has brought about in the landscape. My work does become a kind of lament.
I can always see light in any situation. It's just the way I'm made.
I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.
I like simplicity. I like using natural sources. I like images to look natural - as though somebody sitting in a room by a lamp is being lit by that lamp.
