White Cube Has Dark Pictures
So you take your camera out into the wilderness and decide to take your photographs only at night time. Sounds like a way to get a lot of really dark pictures, but clever photographer Darren Almond managed to create an entire exhibition out of his moonlight photography, and it opens on Friday at the White Cube gallery in London.
The exhibition's called "Moons of the Iapetus Ocean" and features pictures from all over Britain, plus three large-scale photographs from his new collection of work done in Tibet. A lot of the pictures end up looking pretty eerie, with waterfalls and rivers frozen in time by the long exposure. And with strange lights and glowing spots, we think there might be some UFOs in a couple of them.
The Almond exhibition runs until February 23, so don't delay in getting in to see what a real photographer can do in the dark. You'll never want to use your camera at night again, because you'll never know what you might find.
