Comparing night and day

During the day you can tell that this space is scenic.  You can see the hill in the background and look out over the river.  But as soon as there is minimal light and the full moon is out it gives that scary aura.

Walking across this bridge in the day seems like a pretty boring, unexciting route.  Yet seeing it purely lit by one streetlamp and progressively going into the darkness makes you feel uneasy.

During the day this house looks like a normal everyday house but at night with the shadow cast over it it gives you that feeling that it's haunted.

During the day this is also a very scenic place to be, looking out over the river.  But at night with the only light being across the water, way out in the distance, you wouldn't feel safe.

Favs from night shoot 1

An empty swing set that would be crawling with kids during the day seems like a place for bad people at night.  The lights in the distance almost look like fire surrounding you, which gives that uneasy feeling.

A trees shadow that you wouldn't look twice at during the day.  Yet at night it casts a haunted looking shadow on this house at night.

This school would be packed with students during the day but at night all there is, is empty seats with a ring of light in the background giving you that surrounded feeling again.

Proposal

After my first practice shoot I decided I liked the idea of capturing places at night with very minimal light to give off a kind a scary aura.  But I decided to change my concept a little bit.  Instead I want to show how the amount of light cast upon a place can change how you feel about it.  Therefore I will photograph the same place during the day when there is lots of light and also at  night when there is very minimal light.  I want to show how during the day the places will seem like normal everyday spaces where you would feel quite comfortable being in.  Whereas the same place at night will make you feel uneasy and unsafe with very little light.
