I chose this set of images because I overlooked the amazing tool. This tool uses a red lamp with a lot of irregularly turning glass to make the lamp form irregular shapes on the wall. I decided to take a picture of the irregular shapes every time they appeared. In this way, I have a number of unmistakable, irregular, abstract photographs.
Although I was not inspired by any individual artist in this group of photographs. But I have drawn on the work of many artists who are good at using light. Their use of colour in coloured light is very worthwhile. But I have not studied the work of others in particular in terms of the overall construction and design.
I started out with the idea of shooting the group from the front, but during the first shot, I found that the irregular colours were squeezed together. It didn’t show the layers that were supposed to be there. So I tried again from the side and this time it worked because the side showed the different layers of colour from black to light red.
But when I took the photos and put them on the computer, I found that the colours I wanted to show were not as experienced by the camera. So I also made changes in the colour palette. I wanted the colours in my photos to be very sharp and the layers to be very distinct. I wanted people to be able to clearly distinguish the different colours when they saw the photos. So I adjusted the contrast and the saturation to get the final result.
This photo is in the abstract because I thought that this colour overlap would not appear in normal work. Each time the colour and the light will turn out to be different. And I don’t show the meaning of the photographs in an obvious way so that many people who see my photographs will have a different understanding and a different feeling and emotion about them.
