Fine Art Black & White Photos & Fine Art Photography Prints – “Day For Night” – Images by Paul Williams
Day for night is a series of black & white high contrast photo by multi ward winning photographer Paul Williams. This is a series of stark black and white photos with landscapes and buildings sharp against nightime skies. The series of art photos has a strange abstract feel due to the fact that these photos that look as if they were taken at night were in fact taken in the daytime. Day for Night, the title of François Truffaut’s 1973 film, is the old technique also known as also known as nuit américaine (“American night”).
The cinematographic techniques used to simulate a night scene used tungsten-balanced rather than daylight-balanced film stock or with special blue filters and also under-exposing the shot (usually in post-production) to create the illusion of darkness or moonlight.
Historically, infrared movie film was used to achieve an equivalent look with black and white film.
Paul Williams uses his Day For Night technique to explore the daytime world and give it a ghostly moon lit atmosphere.
