In the past I would go to the MIA and look at their permanent collection. One of the paintings is Lucretia by Rembrandt painted in 1666. I was not involved with photography at the time, but the lighting in that painting helped form who I am as a musician. In one form or another I knew that I loved the contrast and drama in that painting and I wanted to incorporate that into my music. As I slowly starting to learn about photography on the side and I am finding I have all of the same influences just learning new ways of expressing them with photographs.
I still have not bought a calibration system – so it is a bit hard to say if the saturation is to high low etc since it varies monitor to monitor. Non the less the light was a step forward for me in this photo.
