The AL-EX Files

Day 52 of an Unknown Number

"The AL-X File"

 

This character has been haunting my thoughts for a few weeks. He has been laying on my desk, and I was not sure what to do with him. I took him to my laboratory, and stood him up on my patented (no patent) black Plexiglass. I set up a gridded strobe at camera-left, and it made for an adequate portrait of our little friend. However, why not experiment for a moment, right? I then moved my solo light behind our subject, but failed to get enough light on to the front side. Finally, I decided to place the strobe directly above our lovely model. It gave just enough light to illuminate the front edge of his body, and both sides of the tube. The initial exposure was very bright, and I almost settled for it. After I started to underexpose the image, it only then got interesting. The finished image reminded me of H.R. Giger's work, and I was happy. Thanks for visiting!!
