When coming across the opportunity to use these window frames, I didn't immediately have an idea of what I wanted to do with them. I took an arrangement of shots from different angles and different editing styles, but none of them really gave me an interesting vibe, until I decided to just shoot the photo from point-blank. When looking at the photo afterward, I was struck by the idea of an apocalyptic scene. In many cinematic films, especially in sappy, depressing, or scary movies, there'll be a creepy, dark, window scene. I wasn't so fixed on creating a horror film scene, as I was creating an apocalyptic photo. With the hills, nature, trees, and bushes in the background, I was left with the idea that I could use a direct, point-black composition to portray the emptiness, and lack of human involvement in the photo. I darkened the frames of the window while making the brick, and other tan/reddish items stand out, in order to give the photo as interesting of a color scheme as possible. I then desaturated color from everything outside of the brick, and window, in order to give the feeling of an empty void, or a mysterious, untouched, empty forest. I didn't want to create necessarily a zombie apocalypse, but I wanted to create some sort of apocalyptic event. Thus my biggest inspiration for the photo was from the movie "Bird Box," in which humanity starts to deteriorate, and nature begins to take over again.
