Snowflake Challenge: Day 7

2014-01-08T00:23:06Z

In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something.

I've never participated in a snowflake_challenge before, so I'm kind of just jumping in here. Hopefully I'll be able to fill a few more after this one! Today it was seeing lightbird's lovely picspam for the current challenge that inspired me to want to do a picspam myself. Hers is for the black and white film, Double Indemnity, which reminded me of how much I like contrast and heavy shadows in film and photography, and for the purpose of my own picspam, in some of the promotional photography for Merlin.

The Merlin folks have given us a lot of beautifully lit photos that I have made a habit of saving in a folder. It was the first time I've ever been so enchanted by a TV series' promotional photos as really impressive, creative, and evocative photography. In some ways, they even paint the series in a different light when you put them together like this, making it seem more dark than it generally was. So here is my little appreciative picspam featuring some of my favorite shadow-heavy photos. No further commentary provided, since I don't really know what else to say, and they speak for themselves.

All photos can be seen in their full-size glory at Merlin's Keep.
