Brendan Barry

Found Brendan Barry on aCurator - http://www.acurator.com/blog/2013/10/brendan-barry-motels.html . Barry (http://brendanbarry.co.uk/). Has taken a series of photographs of motel rooms. They are inspired by and in-turn invoke the American short-story. They cunjur (spelling?) up a narrative. And so the photographer has joined forces with a writer who is going to write a series of hot stores inspired by his photographs.

The work is interesting from the perspective of Lighting because the dominant source of light in these photographs is the TV. This is evocative both as a source (we can all remember that disorienting feeling of falling asleep with TV on, only to wake later with only it's eery glow lighting the room), but also in terms of how it lights the room with a cool colour cast and and upwards direction.
