THE LIGHT LOG

The room, the station, frame by frame.

A selection, laid out the way a contact sheet is read — two ways of seeing a night: what happens in the room, and what happens under the station's light.

TWO LIGHTS, ONE NIGHT

One camera for the room. One for the station.

THE ROOM

Documentary color. Flash catches what motion blurs, and tungsten gold collides with the blue-violet uplight. Nothing gets smoothed over.

THE STATION

Directed black-and-white. A seamless backdrop, a key light, a rim light, and a photographer who asks you to hold still. Every face gets one full second of attention.

Every frame, both languages.
