the quiet of coursing thoughts, 2009
something to hold on to, 2009
a certain distaste, 2009
A note: These were not saved for web and reshoots are imminent! I just need to get my model back from Savannah.
Anyway. I'm pretty happy with how the images are taking shape and I'm working on how I want to continue to depict this series. The first image posted is, I think, perfect in the way I want it to be. The second image needs a couple technical adjustments taken care of -- there is a glare on the photo in the cage which I think needs to be taken out, but I think I might like how it obscures the face. The problem though is it doesn't look intentional so I think ifI want the face obscured, I need to find another way to do it. With the third image, I'm pretty happy compositionally, but the lighting is unappealing to me. That is why I'm making this idea post, to post my idea on how to relight the image.
Here is a very sorry diagram of what I'd like my lighting to look like:
So what that is, would be a light with a snoot shooting across his eyes so that they are lit more than the rest of his face in a streak kind of and then I would have a fill light (not pictured) making sure that everything else was illuminated as well. I talked to Shawnee about this since she understands light better than I can and I probably couldn't light my way out of a cave, at least not with any kind of intention. That's my idea for that image though. I'm trying to convey the struggle that I felt while living with my step-dad and enduring the pain that went along with that. I think looking at my images so far, I'm happy with what I'm coming up with and I'm excited to continue shooting.
