Day 43 of an Unknown Number
"The Unbearable Tranquility of Being in One's Own Skin"
Today's image originated as a red apple with a shark tooth in the side of it. Then something went terribly wrong. The apple by itself was not very interesting. Also, it was sitting on a white sweep I've been using for a product shoot I'm wrapping up. I then decided the apple should be sitting on something, so I brought in a miniature couch from a doll house. Unfortunately, the apple would not rest comfortably on the chaise. There was only one thing left to do......I would have to use......a potato. Suddenly, everything fell into place. The spud did just was he/she was supposed to do. It reclined, and relaxed through the whole shoot. A real pleasure to work with. As for the lighting, I wanted to go small, as though we were shooting a portrait in our subject's home. So, I handheld a speedlight with a small softbox over our starchy friend's head. It was aimed a little towards camera, as I did not want the background to go too bright. The one light not only delivers this beautiful hairlight, but it also partially lights the background, and bounces some light off the paper to fill in our subject's shadows. Then, my memory card crashed. Thanks, SanDisk. I then reshot the image. Our internet then went out for a period, and I lost this whole story. I'm quite sure the first version was hilarious!!!! Well, thanks for taking a seat for a moment!
