Day 21
This seems to be getting more difficult. Actually executing the shot is getting easier but coming up with new ideas is getting harder as I go (and I'm only 20 days in!!). The inspiration for this shot (and one of my early inspirations in photography in general) came from Connor Roelke. He's a local photographer who did a 365 project last year that I followed towards the end and has done some really nice work. Here's his flickr profile and his gallery on pbase with the 365 project and lots of other pictures pbase.com/connorroelke
This one took a bit of experimenting to light up my outline the way I wanted but I think it came out pretty well. It's funny how your mind works because the original photo I was going for was going to be based off of something I thought I had seen on Connor's 365 and that is to be in a dark room holding my hands toward the camera cupped with a light in them lighting my face. As it turns out, (as far as I can tell) Connor never did a photo like that. Rather, he did one quite similar to what I ended up doing (I think his came out better but to be fair, I don't have any remote flashes to work with and have to make do with desk lamps :-P) www.pbase.com/connorroelke/image/96705689.
Ironic, I think.
