There Lurk Secrets Here

There Lurk Secrets Here

I was walking along this basement at night and I was really entranced by the pipes on the ceiling above me. It was a really long hallway, and there was no one around, so I got this sense of isolation and abandonment. It kind of reminded me of a horror genre video game, so I wanted to capture that cross between horror and isolation when you’re looking at something the right (or wrong) way.

I tried to compose my shot along the rule of thirds. The pipes take up primarily the top two thirds of the photo, and the line of the hallway moves from the upper left intersection to the bottom right. For extra creepiness, I made my shot kind of shadowed and dark and kept the ‘exit’ sign just within the frame.
