Nocturnal HDR photoshoot specification/planning

After the previous successful shoot I wanted to explore the same area and challenge myself to make more HDR images using dynamic and dark lighting, similar to that of Bill Henson’s dark nocturnal landscapes. I decided to take photographs from a time beyond dusk where there was very low natural lighting and use man made lighting that was available in the scene to add intensity and narrative. After the previous shoot I noticed there were a lot of different light sources such as motion censored lights as well as lights from windows. Similar to the previous shoot I plan on using HDR techniques and multiple exposures to emphasize areas that lacked light. I plan on referencing Todd Hido’s work with his use of lights from windows and using the composition to isolate houses in the frame. I also plan on creating edits using the images similar to Hamish Fulton by adding text and filters over the image in Photoshop.
