Sleek Pics

It was a strange "shoot." I've done shoots of other people just for fun; mostly Seth. He has no shame when it comes to facial expressions so the shoots are usually pretty funny and cool. He would make a good actor.
But as for the shoot which these are from, I wasn't photographing someone else. I was photographing myself, and with crazy-nutso lighting tricks I was trying to pull-off. After dozens of start-the-camera timer-run-and-pose pictures which didn't turn out so well, I opted to find a mirror. I placed the mirror behind the camera so I could see what the light was doing on my face when the camera went off. It was a lot of fun, and I would love to do a "shoot" with other people as well. I love photographing people.

You are one brilliant photographer. Very creative pictures :)
how did you get the darkness to surround you like that? that is neat how you centralized yourself amongst a void of darkness... i really like both of those pics...

Hey Cade!
Just stopping in on your blog for the first time. I do dig the pic's.

You're going to laugh. It was a flashlight.
We only have one window in our basement so I got rid of the outside light pretty easily. I had the flashlight suspended at an angle. I actually cropped a bit out of both pics where you can see runaway light on my body. I only wanted my face so I cropped my body out. :)
Cade- you crack me up. I've noticed I've gotten considerable traffic on my latest entry but no one has the guts to comment. Yay for you!
Cade, I like your blog. Would you like to buy insurance? Just kidding. No spamming. Seriously though...
I'll be back.
