I think good dreaming is what leads to good photographs.
Wayne Miller
I wanted to create a series of photographs about something intangible and mysterious, but at the same time familiar, something that is inside us but that we don't know how to put into words.
So I went out of the city and used familiar things like car lights and trees, and with the right framing and the benefit of thick fog, as well as adding light to some of the images in post-production, I created an oneiric setting.
What works for me here
I am pleased with how the photograph show a sense of powerlessness, loneliness or even isolation through the right composition and the choice of appropriate weather conditions. The photograph really evokes a strange, mysterious dream that you want to get out of, but at the same time you are curious about where the story will take you. It reminds me of watching David Lynch films.
