To the Moon: @frozen_lightβs Starry-Eyed Aesthetic
To see more of Robβs out-of-this-world photos, follow @frozen_light on Instagram.
A βblood moonβ sounds like something ripped from a George Lucas script. Yet tonight β or in the wee hours of tomorrow morning, depending on where you live β a total supermoon lunar eclipse will occur and color the moon copper for the first time since 1982. Millions will stare in wonder, and Rob Simonsen (@frozen_light) likely will be among them. βI love space and I get so awe-inspired when I look at the stars and sky and witness the beauty in our world,β says the 37-year-old composer and college dropout, who has scored films like Foxcatcher and Bradley Cooperβs upcoming drama Burnt.
Manipulating and stitching together his photos on his phone with several apps, he dreams up a fantastical world in which the stars glitter and crackle, the sun spits fire and electricity shocks the moon. βI think thatβs what I wish things looked like,β he says. βI draw a lot of inspiration from things that give a certain bend to perspective and [are] an interpretation of reality rather than a straightforward reality. [Screenwriting instructor] Robert McKee said a good story should introduce you to a world you donβt know, and in that world you find yourself. My photos are an opportunity to make that happen.β
