Example shot · One tungsten lamp
The kettle at midnight
A single warm lamp picks out the kettle in an otherwise dark kitchen. The camera slowly pushes in from the doorway.
A narrow apartment kitchen after midnight, seen from the doorway. One tungsten lamp on the counter is the only warm light, pooling across the tile, a steel kettle, and the black stove; the rest of the room stays cool and dark. The subject is the kettle. The camera creeps in from the doorway, slow and level, until the kettle and the lamp fill the frame. No people.
