Nyctophilia
As I said in my last photo, darkness is also as much as light, useful! When I took this shot the light meter was very negative and I thought to myself, so what, go for it and so when reviewing it I chuckled and I thought to myself that, the only thing that's missing is the unreadable logo or name of some black metal band in the top corner, the sort of thing you see from those strange people from Norway with the face paints and deluded perspectives of the world.
Anyway, now that I've successfully chewed up my own art, it is here that I remind myself about my purpose in every shot I take, is to create an atmosphere, and atmospheres can go in all sorts of directions. When I looked at this I thought of the darker realms of an unexplored human psyche, the places where we wonder subconsciously and ask the more fearful questions of life, such what is after death, where do nightmares come from, are thoughts and inventions of horror and terror truly our own?!
On another note, Nyctophilia is the love of darkness or night; finding relaxation or comfort in the darkness. Which funnily enough, I do!
I hope everyone is well, much appreciation to all my followers new and old, plus all the faves and comments, but as always, thank you! :)
PS: This is actually a partial Monochrome (slightly), I rendered the Orange down to whiten out the Sun for the effect. Zoom in and look around. :)
