Straying away from horror now and going into the way lights can create atmospheres, Matthew Albanese builds meticulous sets out of household items to create landscapes that feel nothing short of immense. The lighting is crucial in his projects, as they are what turns large piles of paprika and cinnamon into martian landscapes, or tiny twigs an paper into a forest set just outside a mountain.
His work really goes to show just how creative and physically in control of the environment a photographer can be. Granted these sets take several months to build sometimes, and require many labor intensive hours of tedious finely detailed work, but the results are unbelievable. Albanese uses steel wool and moss, and turns it into a terrifying tornado ripping through a plain. Alternately, he can take a glass patio table and create a serene lake vista complete with waterfall.
Everything with these photos comes down to lighting to get the materials to take on the desired effects. often using all types of different sources and different types of lighting setups does he create such amazing works.
