White Fury
White fury - like my version of Zoolander's Blue Steel. Self portrait taken at home.
Had the concept for a few days but was unsure of the background to use. One day a sea mist rolled in, strongly backlit by the sun. I stood in a dark corner of my front room with a window behind me and took the shot aiming to overexpose.
I like the contrast between the black of my face and the bright white background. I also like the contrast between the high detail of my face and zero detail in the rest of the shot. And the 'Godzilla breath' of the distant horizon lined up with my mouth. The detail does highlight my 'sunglasses' suntan though - damn!
