Moody, Dark, Mysterious Photos

Picture
Although I take photographs in all kinds of lighting situations, I prefer light that might be referred to as “edgy.” You know, low light situations, sunrise and sunset, a shaft of light in a rain storm, that kind of thing.
​

​In many of these “edgy” lighting situations, I encounter subjects that, with some manipulation and post-processing, I enhance the image in a way that I think in conveys a moody or darker feel — a bit mysterious, if you will.

A few follow.
