Hipness is not a state of mind, It's a fact of life!
Not a particularly good hairday. Testing out the camera and lighting during a band shoot for an album cover.

I was just kind of screwing around yesterday, and took this. I'm not completely thrilled about it, and I feel like it could be a lot better. I just don't know how.

And I'm gonna re-do it when I can find my red gel.

In life I have encountered much, but nothing as profound as the statement "all we ever do is do stuff."
I had this on facebook and one of my friends described this photo: "it looks like you taichi or bikram yoga and that you are daring a boxer to come kick you out of the gym.... and then you will down ward dog his rear end up and down the crazy 80s splatter-paint court." I laughed.



This is a study for a set I'm going to do utilizing a speed light as different methods of killing yourself. Clearly I need to make a grid.

Thanks, yeah, 50/1.8, gotta use the largest aperture lens you have so you can actually see through it. Camera on a tripod on my left shooting into a mirror. Right eye looking through the lens to the mirror to the camera, left eye looking at the camera through the mirror. It was tough to get my face in the lens I was holding to be in focus since it was on a self timer and every time I looked at the shot I had to try to repose with what I thought would be the proper adjustments. It was even more complicated because I wanted the camera in the photo as well so the angles I had to work with were pretty tight with my limited lens selection. I ended up comping in my face from a different attempt (obviously) because it was one of the better attempts (meaning it was more in focus).

Thanks, that was what I was looking for. By the way, that photo would have been even more awesome if it was a bit more obvious that your face is different in the lens, i.e. if your chin / your whole face was visible. Maybe you can redo it, hehe. :effort:

Never, when checking how your lighting setup is looking while waiting for a model to get ready, miss an opportunity to continue a theme.
