There's no other way to put it, the Light Experimentation Part 3 photo series is [luminous](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-lighting-design). Although it takes place at night, there is a glow that borders on magical. Even with the knowledge of where it originates from doesn't take away from its enchanting nature. Although for some it might.

Shot by Benoit Paillé, a photographer based in Quebec, Canada, the Light Experimentation Part 3 photo series revolves around [stunning landscape scenes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) that have been lit up using nothing more than the headlights of a car and a flashlight. Some may think that it has been enhanced digitally, but Paille assures people that minimal retouching has taken place.

The images were captured in Marseille, France.
