Lights and shadows

I was playing around in Photoshop for the last 2-3 days and I came up with a set of pictures that have a similar, underlining idea and feel about them: faces coming out of the depths of darkness in a pool of light (or a poddle, if you will). I`m seriously thinking of including these into my moodboard and start constructing the whole look of the Identity package around this interplay of lights and shadow. I`m not only thinking of contrast and of opposites when I say light and shadow...what I observed as I was editing the pictures is how altered the general expression of the character or the whole mood that came across from the initial picture was as I moved through the process. From creating the image of the temptress, to that of the girl next door...they are all a push of a button away (unless you have a tempting girl next door...and then they are not far apart in the first place). So, ambivalence, ambiguity...they were words that I chose during last week`s seminar to define myself...and graphically, this style could serve that purpose.
