Here I have chosen a series of images that I have collected concentrating on light particularly focusing on light and space in much the same way the previous post looked at the colour black.
Both of these images were taken at the Victoria and Albert Museum last year at an exhibition called 1:1 Architects build small spaces. This structure was a 1:1 scale reconstruction of a house in Mumbai made from plaster inhabited by eight people.
It's difficult to understand the scale of this piece considering eight people lived in the original structure. The corridors could only fit one person at a time the rooms were compact and confined several people would be sharing the same sleeping areas. However, the quality of light flooding in to this space was wonderful and that was only within the gallery space inside the V&A imagine what it would have been like within it's original context in Mumbai.
Both images were taken on the same day it was glorious and the sunshine gave an interesting quality of light creating these hazy reflections and shadows.
I wanted to include this image image taken on a misty cold November afternoon in London. Light doesn't have to be bright it's often how light creates an atmosphere and it's during times like these that a particular time or atmosphere is most memorable.
