The dramatic lighting on this night walk through Richmond with my friend Dan a few years back is what first drew me to this scene.
There was more open space in the yard than I would normally expect in this part of the city, which made it feel slightly detached from its surroundings. The overhead lighting was strong and directional, cutting across the space in a way that shaped how the scene read visually.
That light also allowed me to work with a faster exposure, which helped preserve the clarity and structure of the moment rather than letting it blur into darkness.
