Took an ordinary shot of the crowd at an event and applied some photo-editing—along with some knowledge art history of tenebrism—and got what I think is a nice portrait of couple I know.

This photograph appears to show a disembodied hand, but it’s okay because the model is wearing a black shirt in front of a black backdrop. Anyway, the hand is holding a black tote bag with the Fotolab No.7 logo printed with white ink.
The photo Aaron took of the bag we silkscreened looks way more dramatic than I anticipated!

a vertical view of sixteen cream-colored ball lights, all attached vida metal rod to a central hub, surrounded by COMPLETE darkness, resembling a diorama of a solar system with all-identical planets
a lucky last-minute snap on the way out the door from a delightful local sushi restaurant, I *wish* I'd taken a bit more time to get *just* lower enough to get all the lights within view, but... oh well, next time! (I also learned a new word from a friend […]

This image juxtaposes two dramatic scenes illuminated by intense, theatrical lighting. On the left is Caravaggio’s Seven Works of Mercy, a densely packed Baroque composition depicting multiple acts of compassion—such as feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless—within a dark urban setting, all unified by a striking beam of divine light and the presence of angels above, exemplifying Caravaggio’s signature chiaroscuro and emotional realism. On the right is Joseph Wright of Derby’s An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump, an Enlightenment-era painting showing a scientist demonstrating a vacuum experiment to a captivated group of onlookers lit by a single glowing lamp; their varied reactions—curiosity, horror, wonder—highlight the tension between scientific discovery and emotional sensitivity.
Caravaggio, Seven Acts of Mercy (1606) + Joseph Wright of Derby, An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump (1768)
Tenebrism (dramatic illumination) was invented by Caravaggio and re-employed by Wright.
