A Hard Bargain.




our assignment for last week was silhouettes
for this shoot i had the idea not to use human models
but birds instead

...no they aren't real

what i like about this photograph
the composition, i love how the bird is off to the side
i love how the frill of a tutu i used to produce a interesting middle ground
between the black background and the actual birds

now what i don't like
the exposure sucks big-time,
silhouettes for me by far i think have been my toughest to shoot because getting a perfect
light-reading for me was nearly impossible

i think the position of my spotlights was off and the light came off harsh in some areas
and too soft in others

overall i can live with this shoot but it is not one i am particular proud of,
better luck next time!
