Hi there Alain,
Thanks for the in-depth analysis of this theme. I really do agree with you that the mood stands in a tight connection to the darkness/lightness of an image. And it is also true that highly lit images have the highest position in the visual hierarchy, consequently it will contain the eye longer. It seems that we subconsciously run and hide from very dark images or dark areas in an image. Can this be something that is inherited from our ancestors? I think it is likely, as is that many of us are a bit afraid of darkness.
It's funny that a lot of people experience a dark image as very moody, even though a very light image can as moody just being very light. A question pops up in my mind. Are dark images bound to conjure a dark mood to the viewer and vice versa or could it be the other way around as well?
It's an interesting theme to spin off around. I want to hear your point of view on this.
Regards,
