Ghostly Long Exposure Photography by Darren Moore
Photos by Darren Moore
Shot mostly around England, self-taught photographer Darren Moore creates ghostly, black and white images using a method called daytime long exposure. In this method, neutral density filters are attached to the camera lens to reduce the amount light, and allow the shutter to open for extended periods of time. All shots were created in broad daylight and with single exposures ranging from 30 seconds to up to 15 minutes. It's a process that requires much patience and stillness, something not everyone can do.
With the combination of long exposure, black and white photography, still water, reflection, and chosen locations like shipwrecks, abandoned homes, and other off-shores features, the set creates a haunting, almost unreal feel. This appeal has become something Moore is known for in just a few years as a full-time professional photographer, and has even earned him international awards and exhibits.

[Video] Moody Good: "MusicBx" (Feat. Eryn Allen Kane)
Moody Good is the English producer, formerly a part of production team 16Bit that helped craft Bjork's 2011 album, Biophilia responsible for the latest track to come out of the always popping UK dance music scene with his track, "Musicbx" that came complete with a visual rendering today with a premier on NME.com. The video traces what seems like one man's stumbling post-trip experience as he wanders, looking for something and finding a lot of what he doesn't need. Vocals for the track are supplied by one of our artists to watch out of Chicago, Eryn Allen Kane, who shows her full flexibility with this latest offering by taking a step outside the soul/r&b vibes that she has been linked to thus far. She continues to impress as she heads toward her own album release soon. Moody Good keeps the song going and lays out a solid canvas from which Kane can work with his expert production and playfulness throughout. Check out the full video for the song, streaming now below.
