I assisted for a guy that would shoot store interiors while they were open to foot traffic and we would do exactly that. Works pretty well.

edit: well, not a rig, really. We would just drop a cone at each leg.

I haven't posted an uninspired self-portrait in this thread in at least a week. Need to remedy that. It is black and white to make it seem more compelling.

Did some business photos, so figured I should get an actual in focus photo of myself while I had everything set up. I was happy to see that my hair looks like a muppet, though. Can't wait for that poo poo to grow out.

That's why I don't smile.

For me, it's still awkward running back and forth to the camera before the timer runs out, hoping the focus is still ok. I'll get a remote one day :allears:

Oh, ok. I guess it's the shadow obscuring them, but it looked like you had some sort of crazy zombie thing going on there. Phew!

ahah yeah I think it's the braces + weird shadow that's giving it a weird look. Plus it doesn't look that much when I talk that I have braces since my teeth barely shows when I open my mouth.

Have less than a year left with them tho, woo! :)
