spheracious
i placed my spheres on the coastline of the city in spots that were close to populated areas but where it was actually dark. even though there is light in the background of the images, it is a far off light and doesn’t intrude on the actual spot that the sphere is positioned. i wanted to portray the portal-like sphere as if it was inspecting the outskirts of the city from afar- never straying outside of the shadows into direct light.
i liked the chaos of the neat but imperfect spheres (compared to Smith’s perfect orbs). i think this style of sphere made them look fleeting, unstable and skittish, which is why i made the progression around the seaside so sporadic. finally i wanted a sense of solitude and quiet for the sphere, as though it had finished checking out the water front and transported itself away to the safety and quiet/darkness of an area it knew. back to the comfort of darkness, which seemed fitting for my light spheres.
getting wet to take this photo. the reflection on the water is a nice and makes it gives it perspective, making it more realistic and affecting its surroundings.
on reflection: i liked the overall effect the light orbs create, some images are stronger than others with some possibly too similar. i do particularly like the final image in my collection of the sphere alone in the dark, but i found this type of scene difficult to replicate as it was hard to get enough light to show the surroundings and perspective as the sphere would just come up in the picture but with no background or any perspective distinguishable. that is why i went in the direction that i did, where the spheres were made in the dark with just enough ambient light to distinguish the surroundings, but not in pitch black where only the sphere would be distinguishable. to get around this problem i would like to have shot at dusk and at dawn to find the best conditions.

i like this aesthetic and tried for something similar with my photos.
