for this one i wanted to explore having two opposing gradients on a background, one that goes from light to dark above the other, which is going from dark to light. i was hoping that some tension would come out of it, that the top would be pushing forward while the bottom pulls back.
but no tension ever emerged. instead all i have is a bubble of light that merges with another bubble of light. very little tension. very little contrast.
not a complete failure, though. i have a new thought for this approach..... move one of the lights a few feet off the wall, and use it to illuminate a subject. the opposing lights would then create contrast between the dark side of the subject and the light side of the wall, and vice versa.
i think it's going to work. and i think that will create the tension i'm looking for. it's just one step forward, conceptwise. i'll do a post showcasing this expanded idea soon.
