Tips To Capture Great Photos In The Dark

Photography means “drawing with light”, and that’s how the sensor in your camera works. Your image sensor is trying to capture the available light. And the less light there is, the worst the quality of the image is (unless you are doing it intentionally of course!). So what can you do when you are capturing images in the dark? Whether it is a dimly lit club or when you are out camping on the mountains, you can still get a nice shot when light is not your best friend any more. A mixture of knowing your basics and a few tips from pros can make any image pop, no matter how dim the light is.

Experiencing Built-Environments: Cyril Lancelin

Cyril Lancelin is a French artist, born in 1975 in Lyon. Combining technology and art, he envisions sculptures and images, bringing the viewer in his digital world, mixing fiction and reality. He questions the artificial landscape. Using parametric tools, he utilizes a vocabulary of classical shapes and volumetric spaces essential to create unique structures. In his vision, forms are used at the architectural scale to create experiential art. His work often engages the public in immersive installations, forcing the viewer to question their own relationship towards their built environment.
