Three Of A Kind

[Ian D J]

Thought I'd try and get back into my experimental indoors photography using my trusty D7000 and kit lens - and here it is called "Three Of A Kind".

No photoshop type layering was involved in this, this is just a single long exposure in a dark room and a spare flash gun was set off three times to pick myself out as I changed position. The only thing I've done to this photo was to greyscale using lightroom. Camera settings were F16, ISO 125 on bulb mode at 18 mm.

This type of photography has been done for years, even on film and that's why I think these two photos has a slight Monique Froese (Edgar Froese's wife) influence about them.

I prefer the diagonal composition of portraits
more expressions, more dynamic, cool rendition!

These are scary as hell Ian. They're really good, I do like these even if they will give me nightmares, especially the 2nd one.

I am a tad jealous of your long locks tho

 

[Naka]

The first for me too.

#1 is just brilliant for me, love it!

Cheers guys! Indeed, handy that I've got the looks for it. Sometimes the traditional methods are the best ones. I read about how it was done in a Facebook page and thought I could give it a go - and had nailed it first time!

Nice shot, like the first one, it looks like a debut album cover for a rock band
