day 139 - in reference to....



there is a photographer whose work i looked at the other day, and it was this surreal set of portraits where the photographer was using multiple multiple lights to really super-expose the subject, and then a lot of quality photoshop work to make them look very surreal and almost like a hyper-realistic painting. i've been trying, but i can't remember the photographer's name. but she really had an excellent style.

it'll come to me.

anyways. i only have three lights, so i'm limited as to how far i can pursue what she was doing, but this is my attempt at something similar. no photoshop, just a lot of lighting. lit from above, from below, and a grid spotted slash light to complete the ensemble. came out pretty well. i would've liked to move away from the wall a bit, but my small living room made that difficult.
