George Hirose






He does images of houses, all at night/very moody lighting. It's typically outdoor scenes, but there are a few that are indoor, like in a shed of sorts. There are no signs of people in any of the images aside from cars. I absolutely love the lighting in his images. They're all really bright and seem to be a result of a strong flood light, or just a long exposure. Either way, the colors in his images are incredible and are of great interest to me. The houses seem to be glowing from the inside and out. He has a way of capturing a very creepy moment from something that we see all the time. This house series started when he visited Provincetown, and how these houses were connected to its deep history. There is a huge sense of quietness in his photographs, and are so eerie due to the time of day in which he is taking these pictures. The houses have a real personality, and being able to capture this is very interesting.
