Often an idea must be carried out to its extreme to have full effects. For some reason my brain wants to now make and select photos which show the least amount of light needed to make a picture. I also want to get close to a type of dark painting (Caravaggio, Goya), which looks like it was made up. It has restricted colours (as if someone has to mix them manually), textures and detail (as if someone has to draw these by hand), centred positioning (as if someone has to think of where to put the thing they are painting), and a singular idea with no additions (as if it was thought of by a human brain, rather than the cornucopia that exists). It shouldn’t look real.
