Julie H Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Supriyo, that picture is ... Just. Perfect. ... for the "darkness" part of this thread. Again, you've hit the nutshell on the head!! Twice in one day! You are a nutshell warrior! Or is it worrier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supriyo Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It was meant to be funny. On the other hand, I think removing the eyes could genuinely scare Julie. Anyways, here is the version without the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect. ... for the "darkness" part of this thread. eh? there's nothing "dark" about Supriyo's original pic. or is "dark" different from "darkness"?

Supriyo Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Even without the eyes it may still be a bit too obvious and referential, but that's always a fine line... I think the obviousness comes from the shape of the dark contour looking too much human like. Here is the cropped version without the doorway.

Supriyo Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Its hard to completely get rid of the doorway if I crop any wider, but I can suppress it's presence a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supriyo Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think the above image but in a vertical aspect ratio without cropping it (maybe just a hair) could work well (see the aspect ratio thread). There's also the triangle shape above the doorway downstairs that's more noticeable in the first and second image that would be a shame to completely lose... Thanks, Phil. I will experiment more with this setup this weekend. I think I may have to reshoot the scene to capture it properly in the vertical format. I like the idea of focusing more on the stairs, but I also want to include the railings, because I think, together they give a feeling of disorientation. Its interesting how the mood changes on cropping/aspect ratio change, or adding tiny details (but not insignificant) like the 'eyes' (LOL). Also, including a hint of the observer's (me) feet and/or hands on the stairs or railings can again alter the impression of the scene, making it more dramatic, and less introspective.

Uhooru Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Barry, the subject of that last one is very 'Braeckman'esque'. Thanks Phil, I had to look him up, and I am enamored of the veiled, ambiguous, murky with psychological undertones and surrealistic even, need I say <sigh> Julie's darkness. I don't think I'm quite into the same thing. But I'm really grateful you brought him up, I just discovered a new photographer to look at :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie H Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 ............... Here is a reflection selfie by Atget, putting another man's head on his body: Eugène Atget, Au Tamour, 1908 [close, cropped] Eugene Atget Au Tambour, 1908 [full image] It makes me kind of dizzy as the face behind the glass jumps back and forth. ............
