Following the theme from last week's shot, here's another you-can't-see-me photo.
The reality is that I need a haircut so damn bad that I can't show my face in public till it's sorted, so I'm hiding underneath hats till then.
And I look like a gimp in this hat, so I had to find a way of drawing attention to the hat and away from what's under it. It's my brother's hat . . . I had to use it. It suits him better though.
Strobist info: Snooted SB600 just out of frame to camera left on a fully extended light stand. Bounced off the ceiling at full power.
To get the dark background I'm standing in a doorway and bouncing the flash off the ceiling in the same room that the camera's in, which I think controls the spill of light and effectively cuts it off from spilling into the room behind me. Shooting at f9 and syncing the shutter speed with the flash helps to kill any ambient light that happens to be knocking about.
I can't help thinking this would've been easier with a dark backdrop?
Shutter speed synced at 1/200, aperture f9, ISO 200.
Fired using Nikon CLS.
It looks fake damn damn damn . . . well, it is fake but you know what I mean . . .
