Model and make-up: The incredible Halohid *Halohid Location scout: Crystal Long exposure, with about a 3 second shutter speed. Yay five-dollar op-shop tops! I'm in love with this picture. Go give Halohid some love, I don't think any other model could have pulled this off better! Daily DeviationGiven 2009-06-17"Very creative use of long exposure, vivid, contrasting colors, entertaining texture, great model, and of course, a great concept." Ghost of memories past by *clandestine-wishes (Suggested by ~Saad-A and Featured by `FaMz) Commentsthat's so cool! i would have taken two shots, one of just the wall, then one with her there, then merged them in photoshop. but i'm a hack like that.
-- *may contain traces of nuts melbournites, bitches. I've been playing a lot with long exposure lately so it was lucky that this shoot happened when it did. My brain is still in 'counting' mode and I've done a lot of trial and error in how to keep still enough.
I think I'm beginning to believe that the best way to learn a photographic technique is to shot self portraits so that you have to think about both sides of the camera at once. -- Keep Left and be considerate. When I said, "alright let's do some long exposure shots" and you went straight into counting I thought, there's someone who knows what she's doing! It made my job heaps easier, I didn't even have to direct anything, it was excellent!
I think self portraits are probably a valuable experience, but I've found in my opinion I hate them because I'm thinking about trying not to look like a dick (believe me photos of me mostly turn out shockingly) rather than other things. I'm never natural in front of a camera, I get tense and paranoid. But model feedback definitely helps I think, in general I get told I don't speak as much as other photographers but usually I'm thinking about the camera and I chip in when I would like them to take a certain direction, I think models are usually capable of running their own show! -- "We were once together, now I'm simply surrounded." |
