Stuart McCallStatement: Discontinuous SpectrumsThis series of photographs examines the strange, unworldly lighting currently favored for industrial and security purposes. Lighting selected strictly for the purpose of providing maximum illumination at the lowest cost. The images show the exteriors of various locations ranging from industrial sites to city parks. They have been photographed at night or at dusk. Sometimes the entire night sky is illuminated by light spill. These lights, known as discontinuous spectrum sources, produce light by the reaction of electrical energy passing through particular gasses. The end product, a type of illumination which is entirely devised by man, creates a light in which entire sections of the visual spectrum are missing. Sodium Vapour lacks blues and greens; Metal Halide is lacking much of the red spectrum, etc. The photographs were created using both digital and conventional film cameras. The colours and compositions have not been manipulated except for minor adjustments which would normally be conducted in the conventional chemical based photographic process. So essentially, all the colour and light effects are as I found them.
