Analysis…
This photograph by Rut has been photographed in London streets. The orange glow and rough surface of street suggests this image was taken of a alley way. An uneven surface and gloomy setting suggests unease in the image, as if it was not a safe place to be. darker shadows surround the sides of the image with light reflecting from the puddles. More darker shades overall the light that floods in the image. In all Ruts photography there seems to be a theme of capturing a orange and yellow glow from the street light hitting different surfaces. This may be happening as for the light mode that he has set his camera on. As his work is always set at night with using street lights and no life to be seen in his photography, this indicates that he is expressing emptiness. This is seen with the image above as the alley way seems to be abandoned. A low exposure and average IOS balance captures the image nicely to the extent of not making it too dark but light enough for the cracks and bumps in the tarmac to be seen.
