I’m sharing some images from January 2021.
I haven’t done many walks this month so far. It’s been quite busy and tiring at work, although I’m not complaining. On top of that, the 6pm curfew is still on and is quite annoying to be honest. However, no lockdown yet, so I’ll stop moaning.
Streets are a perfect place for Light and Shadow study. If you get to come out a few times a week, you can learn and remember how light effects certain places in your town. Those street corners that you pass by sometimes and overlook. They become alive at certain times of a day.
Trying a different perspective every now and then also helps and keeps it interesting.
Did I mention that I’m a sucker for reflections…
To those who are in lockdown at the moment – hope you find it painless and keep creating at home. Streets are waiting!
Thank you for visiting,
Yuri
Since your shooting time is limited and with the long late day light, you could scout locations where you can catch people in both direct and reflected sunlight.
Very true! Lots of possibilities and learning to do. Thanks for the comment Scott
Beautiful series Yuri. You know these lights and shadow are also my territories of interest, so I agree with every word written here about the many certain places in my towns, where I’m regular to explore the light and life.
stay safe and creative. The lockdown should have ended today after additional 6 days, but they decided to add additional two weeks and I have no idea what is the final word… seems like that is their goal to confuse us – so part of already deadly scared people just stayed at home and don’t really understand the new restrictions or the lack of them.
Thanks Victor and wow, they are really torturing you there. Seems like it’s worse than in France or Uk…
stay safe and hope you hit the streets soon for some light and shadow stories!
Yes seems like right now its the worse place to stay and to wait for the end of this craziness. They closed the airport in both directions so ppl now kinda stuck here.
Really good studies of Light and Shadow, Yuri. You’ve used it really well to create some dynamic Black and White photographs here.
In these I think the masks work quite nicely because they provide an added point of contrast. They’ll also be interesting historical images in a few years time.
Thanks Owain. I see what you mean about masks and contrast and you’re right. This and the historical aspect are the only pluses about these masks. I’m waiting for the day when we’ll be finally free of them…
(the only pluses photographically obviously)
