52: Week 8

Week 8 saw the continuation of my fine art photography attempts. This weeks attempt was the dyad between lust and purity. Honestly, I can't say if this photo pulls off such meaning, but it was fun to shoot and edit anyway.

Gina, thank you for letting me put glue on your face and chest, and thanks for the patience to stand still for my 30 second exposure. Emily, I could not have done this without you, thank you for your patience with my set up, and your awesome christmas light swinging ability!


Before and after

Here is a test shot from yesterdays shoot. The light painting was done with a set of pink christmas lights my roommate lent me. For this shoot, I had a three light set up: a flash on the left, right, and behind Gina. The camera was on a tripod, set to a 30 second exposure with a 10 second timer. After the flashes fired, I turned off the flashes (as they would continue to work as modeling lights) then I and my assistant Emily, swung the pink lights behind Gina. The soft halo around Gina's head is because the third flash was not on the same power source as the front two, so when I turned off the power source the back lighting did not turn off.
