Through The Valley of The Shadow (BOOK available)

Sun Jun 8, 2008, 2:22 PM
"THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW"
BY KARSTEN HAMRE (NORWAY)

The photos in this book ,“Through The Valley of The Shadows”, was shot on two different locations, in two different countries, and using two different cameras.

The serie taken at the Monumental Cemetary of Staglieno (Genoa, Italy)
consist of 12 photos, and was shot with a Fuji Finepix E900, while the serie taken at the Ossuary in Sedlec (Kutna Hora, Czech Republic), also known as Kostnice Beinhaus, consist of 16 photos, and was shot with a Canon EOS 350D.

Common for both series is the way they have been digitally treated afterwards.

Basically first they have been run through a contrast/brightness correction.
Thereafter they have been turned into black and white, and in order to add more effect to them I chose to use the Virtual Photographer plugin from optikVerveLabs.

The slightly blown up contrast was chosen in order to add more dramatic sense to the photos and to create a different feel, look and atmosphere.
