Amanda Yanez-Hughes Photography

Artist Statement

At twilight the world awakens for me. During those fleeting moments as the sun first falls below the horizon I become inspired by the changing colors in the atmosphere. I am fascinated by the way that twilight and darkness change the sense of a place with the interplay of color and light. I seek to experience and capture what cannot be seen during the daylight. Light glows boldly with saturated color appearing more vibrant and alive against a darkened sky. In my project 'Across the Twilight' I aim to share with the viewer the peaceful stillness and the dynamic movement of color and light that occurs in low light. These photographs show the ephemeral quality of twilight in both natural and man-made landscapes.
