At times of total darkness, there can be an occasional shaft of light that illuminates what was, until a moment ago, hidden.
Not everything that hides in the dark are monsters. The trick is being able to recognize which is which.

Thank you! I love the close up lens, so you can see detail in the skin and the eyelashes. I like that you don’t need much information to understand what you’re looking at in this shot.
Thank you so much! I was really pleased with the contrast, something I’ve been most successful with theatre lights. I’m thinking of doing some similar work actually, and racking my brains as to where to get good lighting for it :)

Thank you so much :) These two have sparked a fascination with the close up lens that I’m about to explore further
AMAZING WORK… I know that lighting had to have been difficult to work with…
But you sure nailed it! Bravo!
