For my second response to Luke Fowler, I decided to take pictures in Mojacar during the day as well as the night. When two images are exposed in one frame, the viewer is able to see the relationship between the juxtaposed photographs.

I captured images during the day under natural light and used flash photography for some of the night time shots when there wasn’t enough light source to capture the image. When returning to the same location during the night, I had to make sure that I was in the same postition to get the exact composition as the day time image.

On Photoshop I included a black frame that surrounds the pair of images to replicate Luke Fowler’s two-frame films. I edited the images on VSCO to create a film effect to replicate his photography style.

Evaluation

Overall, I think the side by side comparison of the two images in day and night was successful because you get to see the same location under different lighting. The black frame helps to link the two images together while the comparative images using different levels of lighting creates contrast to emphasise the juxtaposition.

In order to improve upon my technique, I would change the order of my photoshoot and capture the nocturnal images first of all. A number of my night time images weren’t clear due to inadequate lighting, blurring and the limited range of the flash. After capturing clear images at night it would be much easier to replicate the same composition during the daytime. Additionally I would ensure that I had a tripod available to maintain camera stability and reduce movement that made some of my photos blurry.
