When I first started out with the fire concept I wanted to photogragh a close-up of myself lighting a match. This proved to be quite difficult using a 2 second timer on my camera. I just couldn't seem to get the timing right. So anyway, I decided to take a different approach and liked my result.
During this project, I found that my favorite type of shooting photographs was with the least amount of light possible. I like this scernario because it allows the light itself to become the focal point. I really like how this photograph turned out in the dark because it shows different layers. First, you see obviously the huge flame. (I love how the camera caught the colors and arrow shape of the flame.) Next you can see the candle vaguely, and lastly, darkness.
Taking pictures with little light gives us a new perspective on items. Humans usually live life with light (sunlight, artificial, ect.) Taking pictures in the dark allows you to see something from a different point of view. you might catch something you normally wouldn't notice.
