Had to shoot two skeptics, members of a group that debates the validity of things like the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast and stuff. The assignment was to meet them in their office and make a portrait... Yikes. Worst case scenario.
Decided to take my mag light and tripod and try to have some fun. A little light painting to spice things up and make them look ethereal. I shot about 25 frames at shutter speeds ranging from 10 seconds to 30 seconds. I had a few that worked, and a lot that didn't. Still a fun shoot, and the guys were really into it, once i explained what I was doing with the lights off and a flashlight highlighting their faces. Once I showed them the back of the camera to give them and idea of what it would look like, they said "cool, keep going." This is the result.
Melissa, that is fabulous! Wonderful job making something great out of what could have been a disaster.
ReplyDeletehey scott... i thought of you when i was shooting this. part of this post should have read, "because i have no idea where my flash even is, i had to pull the mag lite out of my trunk instead." and yes, the flash is still m.i.a. -- oh well.
