This wasn’t really taken in London, it just feels like a victorian London scene, ala Jack the Ripper, so I titled it that.
The shadow is actually me shining a small flashlight on her face during a long exposure. I didn’t realize the shadow would be there but when I looked at it later it certainly had a very cool effect, adding to the content of the image.
3rd in a series on ‘night’. It was a very hot and humid night and I loved that she had that sheen or glow of heat on her. I also loved the blue/red compositional element of the door and wall behind her.
2nd in the week long series on night images. The idea was to capture both the cute, sweet smile all the other photographers were trying to get from her and then have her turn her expression into a scream, similar to the graffitied image. I wanted to try to capture the feeling of the surface pretty and the interior pain someone might feel at the same time.
