my entry to '52 weeks' contest by @wwwiebe
( the initial post & rules , all 52 prompts, this week entry )
This week prompt was: 'Dark', so...
See, I have a lot of night photography files, perhaps low-key photography is not my fave janre, but unfortunately the north-west part of Russia where I live do not count among its features sufficient amount of sunny days in a year and the longevity of daylight hours. Quite on the contrary. Having a job "that slowly kills you" when you are off the office at eight, nine or sometimes (extremum times) even at midnight -- there is not too much opportunities left on my hands, except of a night photography. Well, I also may have Sundays and Saturdays, but since they are supposed to serve as a remedy to relax from the job... lets say I do not have a passsion to go out on photography mission exactly on weekends. I enjoy pretty much 'available photography' which is... yes, sometimes it is 30 mins on your way to the office, and 30 mins when you off and going home. Of course, the things change to better when I am vacations or during the summertime... but still: I do have a lot of examples of nightphotography just cause I had a camera and wanted to shoot -- and the evening streetlife or cityscapes was an only available option for me.
Indeed, I could choose something from my archive. Any streetphoto taken in the evening and edited properly could work for the given subject. But maybe that would be a bit too straightforward and less creative, dont you think? After all, this is a contest for photography and creativityrules guides., as @wwiebe suggested in the contest
(Here goes the end of my lyrical introduction, hehe).
So, I decided to choose something less direct and, indeed, ended up with this little low-key portrait session from 20014, I made at our camp at Lagoda lake skerries..
I love it!
Very good dark shadows ☺👌👌

Those are fantastic pics. I love the silhouettes. You and I are very much in a similar vein; love photography, but need to make do with time constraints. A lot of my photography is literally "in house".
The lady looks like she's holding a shield, or a drum, and that other hand looks like a spoon. I'm thinking she's drumming.
