Test Shoots

Yesterday I was shooting for another project. I was shooting hands against a softbox and deliberately overexposing so that the light wrapped around the fingers to made them look sort of alien. I saw a piece of green tissue paper lying around so I decided to cover the softbox with it to make the hands look even more alien.

I liked the result so when I had finished I decided to try the same effect for this project. I used a cloth and wood doll which I hung over the softbox. I could turn the photo so that the doll is the right way up but I prefer it upside down.

At night I decided to try the green light outside. There is a piece of rough ground between our house and a railway so I took some of the shots when a train was passing. The lighting didn’t quite wok out as I wanted, but the results are quite interesting and it was fun. I think I’ll explore this further.

I’m continuing my journey ‘Into the Unknown’.
