The shadows photo session part 3

Here's part 3 of the shadows photo session. If you missed them, part 1 is here with the intro, and part 2 is here.

1. This one is a hint to where I was aiming the camera.

6. You could be forgiven for thinking I was inspired by the 2016 movie 'Arrival'. Which if you haven't seen, it's terrific. I swooned at the opening image.

7. This is one of my favourite images. We had to work a bit to get things exactly right.

8. So many photos trying to get this one right.

And last of all, the setting. So unglamorous. Darkness hides so much. I wasn't going to show this but the models insisted and we must keep the models happy. 

Mainly the images were captured as close ups so there was hardly any background at all, and what little there was could be controlled through the red and aqua channels. 

The light on the right was mostly pointed nearly straight up to bounce off the ceiling for indirect lighting to help keep the ISO low to control noise. You can just see the little halogen light off to the left we used to create the shadows. The windows were blacked out with cardboard. There's a little heater on the floor to the left to keep Michelle's feet warm.

I had some other lights and reflectors handy, but as it turned out we didn't need them. We're planning another session and might play more with lights and reflectors to shape and modify the light.

There's a recurring line in the Sherlock Holmes stories where Watson is amazed at the result of one of Holmes' and then once explained says it's obvious. Maybe you're all disappointed at seeing behind the scenes.

No of the day photos today, but it will return next time. There are some hyacinths being optimistic in the front garden bed.
