EMP:LIGHT + DARK

After a brief tutorial with Joel I have decided to dedicate each week to a different theme of antonyms/opposites to experiment as much as possible, and see which areas stand out the most in order for me to push and develop. So continuing from my experimentation with nature and day + night I have dedicated this week to light + dark.

I headed straight to the beach to capture what seems to be the only day of sun we've had in a long time. I wanted capture natural light and reflection, then contrast that with artificial lighting and shadows.
Artificial lighting using paper cut outs, and faceted glass to create abstract forms of reflection.

I previously gathered some quotes relating to antonyms of light and dark, this quote really stood out to me and also relates to the antonym of hide + seek/reveal + conceal.
To illustrate 'Light is that which reveals and dark is that which hides', I punched the type into paper and can only be visibly read with the aid of light, either shone through to reveal lit up type in the shadow or held up against light to illuminate the type.
