Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #194 'Vampire Den'

'Vampire Den'



The blood-red drapes invoke a feeling of being in a vampire movie. Together with the yellow light on the wall, they create warm, but quite a scary atmosphere. I love the mood and can feel it, even though it takes me to the negative, fearful side. I feel like I'm being trapped inside with a hope of a way out. The window seems to be a safe haven, a rescue to where I can run. And, then, when I do this, when I set my mind on the window, it becomes clear that we have no idea what's outside apart from the cold light. Nothing is visible, so I have no idea where would I end up or run into. The dilemma and drama are obvious.

What I find especially interesting is the red colour, of course. But it is not only that. The mood is created by a mixture of natural and artificial lighting and this is what does it for me. Colour balance is set to the outside natural light what makes the tungsten light really warm. This way it powerfully supports the red colour. A touch of greenish and cyan coming from outside perfectly fit the colour scheme and tell us their part of the story. The almost white window sill, appearing as stairs leading outside, only makes the illusion grander.

The creases creating shadows on the drapes are adding a huge bonus to their volume and the overall mood. Vignetted dark edges make the contrast between darkness and light, what adds dynamics. I find that to be a strong statement.

I'd really like to know how does the red colour work for you?

Enjoy! :)

It's my favorite theme. Horror movies! Thanks for sharing this thrilling picture and story.

Nice :)

It is very interesting. Even, in my opinion, it's sexy.

That's a bad ass pic bro, it gives me the chills. Not knowing what's outside the window surely makes it even more anxious.

Great image, i like the red tone as it gives it a mistery feeling.

This post has been upvoted for it's original content and user @velimir followed by @arhitekt .

Nice shot, you have a creative eye Think me about The lady in red

I like the window as a principle object and the red color with deep yellow lighting great shot

wonderful

Oh yeah !! It reminds me Hotel Transylvania..
Nice shot @velimir

So this is photorealism? You shoot a photo them colorize in a post software? Or are you painting a photograph? Looks cool either way! I’m just curious if the lighting is set with little to no post production or if it’s shot as a digital image then overly saturated and adjusted in Lightroom or photoshop to give it new depth

This is definitely the kind of place I could spend a lot of time in!

fear and capture the moment. live photo.

Beautiful picture, it looks like the window of a vampire lodge.

This photo is so good! Its like it is trying to tell you something

Nice

spectacular I love the contrast !!!

red color for me very scary and frightening color because in color there are effects that indicate someone's emotions or circumstances. i hope white color is always present .

Wow! What a great shot!
Please check my post, too. Thanks

It looks like a scene straight out of a movie. The name describes it well.
The red is bold and portrays a sense of warning to me.

The drama of the room that arouses imagination or exit into the light through a window that can bring a positive experience, or maybe a negative one.
What should I choose? What a hint Velimir

Puedes sentir cantidad de cosas con solo ver la fotografía.
Gran trabajo!

For what could have been dismissed as an average shot looks creative because your words paint it a character and the mind shapes its own story .. Neat stuff mate.. Just curious to know what was actually outside that window :P. Would you tell us? :P.

Amazing art just awesome!

Red is one of my least favorite colors. My photography tends to lean heavily into the cool side of the color wheel. However I do read a lot about color psychology and I'm fascinated by the use of color in symbolism. Red is a powerful color and very eye catching. When I use red, I use it very intentionally to capture the eye of the viewer. The color alone can create emotional impact and for that reason it is a great choice in photography!

this is rar window surely makes it even more anxious.

Cool shot mate

She shivered and the woman approached. The promise of immortality was too much to pass up. The other woman touched her neck gently, giving her goosebumps. She tilted her neck to accept the gift.

When she awoke, the last thing she remembered was the pain.... she was now Nosferatu.


Post Stories by @jfolkmann

The perfect art.

Wow😱😱
What a picture

Why do I feel that the window is locked? And that outside it's probably raining. Like, not normal rain, but the kind in Bladerunner?

Love reading through these posts. Why you like that scene, what it makes you think, feel... :) Might have to try something similar to help stretch my creativity again.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot! I like the colors

That's awesome movie @velimir

Red color means Strong, brave, confident, red passion is a color that has many meanings, ranging from love that excite to fight for war. This color affects not only psychological but also physical. Research that shows red can increase heart rate and make us breathe faster.

excellent post

A picture that good, the beautiful but what happens if this photo in take away from the corner of the middle of the? Show windows split in two, surrounded by a red, oh but this is very looks good, I’m getting the creeps. Good job @velimir
I love this photo.
Btw, sorry for my translate

Amazing..

Here is a very wonderful Artwork

Vladimire svaka čast. Genijalno. :D Pozdrav iz Hrvatske.. :D

Strange

Thats really groovy

I loved your photography, in particular, I am not a big fan of the color red, but in this image I liked it a lot, it has each of the aspects that you mentioned before, it also makes it look macabre and great

Red is my favorite color so I like that picture mightily :)

Even though - the Red here is somewhat the color of doom with the created atmosphere. the metallic frame before the "stairs" makes it even more spooky - it looks like a closed, heavy iron gate, a gate a where some broken heart man stands and watch helplessly as his loved one is taken up the dusty stair to the gallows - gallows soaked with a metallic light, just like the executioner's ax. the whole red and Bordeaux color scheme, in addition to the medieval style candle-looking lamp intensifies the overall feeling in the picture - I feel like it's a scene from one of the book series "the hangman's daughter" by oliver pötzsch(do read it - one of the best series I read in my life!).

I guess I'm a bit gloomy - maybe the blood running in the crypto streets right now makes me feel a bit down - anyway, there are this time when you are sad and you go and hear a sad, melancholic song and it actually makes you feel better? this picture did the same thing for me, uh and the lovely red colors too.

Thanks velimir my friend, this did uplift my mood a bit - reading your interpretation and expressing myself too.

vampire is wonderful movie @velimir

the color red gives joy depends on the colors that suit

Red is a color that evokes many emotions. It signifies energy and action. It is considered a color of passion, it is used to indicate love and even revenge.
it has been used as a traditional color in wedding dresses in India and around the globe.

for me red color means stop there as a warning signal hahahaha :)

anyways really a interesting and nice article

good luck keep smile always :)

I wonder if the vampires are really real. :) Very good photo though!

Very artistic.

What's your background in art?

I like that. Have you ever done portraits with that vampire background using lights? Check out my recent post on using small lights: https://steemit.com/photography/@lightenup/portrait-photography-a-ticket-to-world-travel-and-experimentation-with-light

Really good art.

Buen relato, escogiste una imagen que en realidad no transmite la esencia del escrito, buen post

Thank You! ⚜

Amazing art.Just love it :)

Good photo for the movie poster about vampires.
The red color is more depressing and alarming, but it gently smoothes the color of the lamp. It's pretty light outside, so it does not look scary. I'm sure if you make the same photo at night, you could get a different result.
Because of the double lighting (natural light from the window and the light of the lamp from the room), the blind that is located to the right looks more voluminous.
On me red color has a double impression. Depending on the essence and shade, it can look aggressive and therefore cause an "invigorating" effect of stimulation of consciousness. But in some situations it looks relaxing. I think the main role is played by the setting and then is the red color dominant or not.
Thank you:)

Great review!!! It is just a photo.But your review has added some thought to it.If we have seen it else where we would have not even give a thought on it.But you have made us to see it in a different way.That is what I like in you most

I know to myself that I don't like horror movies, but when it comes to vampires, I give it a consideration for watching, coz I like it for its supernatural, magical and fantasy. Just like watching "twilight"" ^_^

Nice photography, very amazing bro

so mistic!

This is a great photo. I love the colors and contrast. #photography #art
