My second artist model/influence for this new project based on light is the photographer Henri Carter. Even though Henri Carters photography hasn't used any form of light in his photos, I have looked at him as one of my artist models for this project because of the particular way he has structured his photos. Henri Carters photography hasn't just stuck to one particular view in his photos. There is a particular reason why he's chosen to photograph his images. The way he has photographed across all his images above is to show a movement in his photos.
For example the first photo is leading the observer through the long allyway and to the focal point at the end of the photo, guiding them through the narrow pathway. This is to make a path for the observer to follow and take in whats in the photo, which is the homeless man sitting on the ground.
Another example on how Henri Carter has shown movement in his photos is in the third photo. In this photo Henri Carter has taken his photo at an angle that looks down the stairs and still manage to guide us along the curving path to take in the man passing on the bicycle.
I'm positive that if I was to encorperate Henri Carters use of giving his photos direction, this will greatly enhance my idea, which is to show how lights act as guides.
