Single light in the darkness: Eerie photos capture spooky landscapes with just one lamp piercing the gloom   

  • French photographer Julien Mauve travelled the world to capture this eerie set of photos dubbed After Lights Out
  • All the photos are entirely devoid of light, but for a single source shining from behind a window
  • The entire set was shot on a Canon 5D digital SLR although many have been computer edited for the desired effect

What if darkness overtook our world and just a single source of light remained to pierce the gloom?

That's the question photographer Julien Mauve asked himself when he came up with the concept for this series of dramatic pictures, entitled After Lights Out.

The French photographer travelled the world to capture these eerie images, which are completely devoid of all artificial light but from a single source hidden behind a window.



Haunting: This eerie image, which could be of a haunted house, is part of a set entitled After Lights Out by French photographer Julien Mauve

Lucky find: This photo, photo which shows a single light shining from a grand building seen over Prague's Vltava river, was shot just as Mr Mauve found it. Others required complex camera trickery

Chilling: In this shot he has used an off-camera flash triggered remotely to create the single source of light at just the moment the picture was taken

On his website, he explains how he was inspired to come up with the series by inescapable light pollution.

'Night no longer exists,' he says. 'City lights cover up the stars, and cell phone screens lighten even the darkest of alleyways.

'And soon, imagine a world in which our lights render even the sun gratuitous.
 
'In the darkness of space, light is a beacon of hope. What if darkness in our world once again overtook the night and as an affect, transforming even the most insignificant light into an exception – a mystical phenomenon?

'In a world in black and blue, the single incandescence of a bulb could be the greatest promise of an adventure about to start.'

Serendipity: Mr Mauve told how the old woman in this shot arrived just at the right moment and stood perfectly still as the photograph was exposed. She then disappeared as mysteriously as she arrived

Edited: This image shows Buenos Aires, Argentina. Most of the lights in the windows of the buildings pictured have been carefully darkened using Photoshop
