Part 1
Composition: A high contrast photo of a light bulb in the middle of darkness, taken with a large aperture lens and at a high speed in order to get the most details without over exposing it. It is placed on a higher third of the photograph because I wanted to convey this idea of illumination being closer to the subject.
Concept: All my life I've considered myself to be an "illuminator"; not a nerdy guy, but rather, a person that can understand really intrincate stuff and make it easier to understand for others, making "light" where there is "shadow".
Method: An experiment playing with light, speed and large aperture. I am a personal fan of light painting, but due my camera constraints, I came up with another creative solution.
Motivations: Experimentation mostly. I love to play and I think that most of the greatest findings in mankind are due playing. Also, due my love to high contrasted pictures.
Context: In this sense, much of my inspiration for high contrast pictures comes from manga and how much can an artist create just with light (paper) and dark (ink).
Part 2
Interpretation: From what I got everyone was pretty much amazed at the idea and how I managed to accomplish this.
Evaluation: I wouldn't dare to change anything, since I think the photograph is powerful and amazing on it's own.
Extension: High contrast photos are somewhat difficult to manage and this could be the starting point for a project on this particular matter.
