Description
One type of image has been a mainstay of all my work, night time scenes.

I have a deep lust for those scenes with heavy shadows and cutout where little stories lurk in the shadows, the entire world is sucked in a create a consuming, claustrophobic, saturating and often concussive atmosphere. I also love offsetting the glimmers of blue light with a soft blooming glow from a candle or lamp and creating a textural and colourful playground across any nearby surface, in particular I love the way the light plays on skin and eyes.

Quite often I hide little tiny details in the darkness knowing that for the most part they will remain unseen and very secret but gifting an additional narrative to anyone who looks a little deeper than the often quite obvious central weight of the image. Indeed even in this relatively basic image there are a few hidden stories buried within the shadows even though that isn't really the true purpose of the image, I can't help myself in some ways.

Low light and night scenes formed the basis behind Sleepy Hollow and as such I was only too keen to start experimenting with darkness in Blender and I'm incredibly encouraged by the first result. I'm keeping posing fairly simple and expressions quite basic for now to just refine the overall feel of the images and find better routes to achieve results that I am happy with

Having to more or less start again with nearly every single prop and method to produce images is testing but in some ways learning to do everything again is good as I can start pushing out the elements of images that always niggled with me and smooth them over to create even better work.

Onward and downwards into the depths of the gloom and wait until you see what I have been doing with the moon
