In this piece, I focused on developing lighting with a stronger emotional presence than I typically use. I aimed to push the mood through the lighting, while using the moon as a contrasting element to emphasize value differences and draw attention within the scene. At the same time, one of the main challenges was the composition of all the different elements. I worked to ensure the image wouldn’t feel overcrowded, while still using those elements to create a sense of flow and guide the viewer’s eye through the piece.
