Tonight as I waited to leave the building from work; I was again pointing my camera up at the ceiling trying to paint with light. This is a technique that has become very interesting to me, and I'm trying to improve my skills and excel at it. After all, light is everywhere so arguably it is the most available subject. Admittedly, I am a sucker for black and white photography, so the desire to pursue this kind of study is very strong. There is something eerily calm to me about this composition. Not scary but cold and mysterious as if a light wand is being passed over you in an attempt to scan you. Not to take advantage of you, but out of a desire to learn that is birthed out of a quest for knowledge. There is implied movement in the diagonals and the black, negative space creates tension with the cool light. Perhaps it's just a blurry ceiling light above me, but all the artistic babble sounds way better eh?
Happy Shooting.
