Over the past few months I have become increasingly interested in the development of artificial light, with particular regard to the developments in electric light in the nineteenth century. The particular visual shift from the human-like warmth of the flame, to the blindingly bright arc lamp (the first electric light) fundamentally changed the world and the way people perceived their surroundings, their homes, and themselves.
These photographs were taken with this the visual shift presented by developing technology of the time in mind.
