After seeing 'Metromorphosis' by Dmitry Kharchenko, I can't believe I haven't paid closer attention to subway lighting before now -- it's downright trippy! This series captures light fixtures in underground transit, tweaked to align with how the photographer perceives them.
Under Kharchenko's artful eye, fluorescent lighting becomes a kaleidoscopic wheel, and long bars of bulbs become a haunted railway of sorts. See more shots of 'Metromorphosis' by Dmitry Kharchenko above.
