Rineke Dijkstra, Portraits (1992)

This portrait of a young adolescent is quite striking, due to the contrast between the illuminated figure and the dark, stormy background. The figure’s expression is gentle but stoic, a reflection of the backdrop of the ocean. I’m wondering if the photographer used a bounce to illuminate the subject. This contrast gives an almost otherworldly or spiritual feel to the image, similar to Birth of Venus.

Color Diptychs 1990-92, A Visual Contemplation On Death

Steven D. Foster

Artist statement: http://thedepartinglandscape.blogspot.com/2010/11/color-diptychs.html

I love the combinations of natural light from the sky combined with the artificial light of streetlamps. The diptych also sets up a striking visual comparison between clouds and trees, creating a dreamy, otherworldly effect, almost like the space between heaven and hell. Each diptych appears carefully chosen, as the compositions mirror and interact with one another. 

I’m inspired a lot by otherworldly lighting in photographs, and making natural light seem spiritual. I think I want to go to take pictures in the Interfaith Chapel, as the light coming through the stained glass creates beautiful patterns and reflections on the wall. I’m not sure what I would put this next to in a diptych.
