This photograph was inspired by experimental photographers across the world wide web, particularly Dennis Smith. I found Denis Smith's works through photo sharing site flickr.com. Smith has - in my opinion - a very unique and experimental style.
In all his works it features at least one light orb. Most of them are very simplistic in terms of composition, but simplicity most of the time is key. The pieces are unique as the light orb is exposed perfectly in the environment it is created in, he insists that there was no editing to the image, which therefore raises questions just how does he do it?
This photograph makes strong use of colours, using contrasting colours to create interest to the eye.
As you can see from each shot, the composition is very strong. Through the strong and intelligent use of colours and shapes he is able to make the light orb appear as the main focus in the images whilst maintaining detail and proper composition in the background. This can be seen in the second photograph on the right side.
Personally, I love this unique style of his. He has very high skills in photography, which is shown by the way he maintains picture perfect exposure in all of his images without the use of editing programs.
Dennis Smith has been integral to the process of my own artworks as it teaches one to be unique and bold with their photography. In addition to that - for one to develop an individual style.
