As mentioned previously, for my main project I intend to explore Worcester by Night, making use of available light to create dynamic and enticing images. The photographers below show some examples that I can draw inspiration from.
Brassai - Paris By Night
"While his images reflect the glitter and gaiety the city was famous for. He also chronicled the city’s nocturnal workers: night-beat policemen, their capes billowing over their bicycles; workmen polishing tram tracks; a milkman loading milk cans onto his horse-drawn cart."
A few examples of his work are in the video below
Bill Schwab - Bill Schwab is a clear follower in Brassai’s footsteps, using a similar interplay of artificial light and fog in much of his work. But Schwab’s work does not feature the light in the foreground, as Brassai’s did, but piercing through the subject of the photo from the background. This effect gives Schwab’s subjects a sort of hollow, lifeless quality that he manipulates to great effect, especially when focusing on symbols of his native Michigan’s suffering economy.
Robert Brook works with more Urban subjects which provides a more modernistic look for his images in comparison to the above (Brassai 1933, Schwab 1994+)
