Revisiting the past

In working with models I am learning to allow development in thinking and allowing the process to naturally unfold conceptually. One of the things I enjoy most is working and manipulating the camera to create a raw and time-filled photograph or film piece. Currently my images are very static. Representative movement is shown though could be greatly enhanced. I aim to look further into the role of the shadow as illustrated in the current imagery. It is interesting how other artists use the shadow in their work and to achieve the language they created  to get their concept across. Tim Noble and Sue Webster from England create seemingly useless art installations that surprisingly come to life when directional lighting is used. The use of scraps, taxidermy creatures and discarded waste, adds to the impressive transformation of the art pieces from pieces of garbage to creative and fancy projected images.

Looking at the use of light within a shadow and its important role, it's direction and angle of which a light is shown upon a figure can immediately cause the mood and interpretation of the piece.
