A quick upload and sneaky peek today as an apology for to blog followers who may be wondering if I have stopped blogging... Being busy is a good thing, but it also means one has less time to post images with the hows and whys. :s
Yesterday we packed our bags to photograph local costume maker Barry and his son Oliver. We had discussed the brief but we were unsure as to what Barry would pick out of many possibilities as the outfit to be photographed on the day.
That meant we had to create an editorial and choose a location on the fly. I thought to delegate a part of this to my son Matt who is my assistant and is looking to become a game designer. Part of his future role is to create scenarios for games so I gave him the challenge to come up with ideas for how to create a story with limited resources. There is so much to creating an image that the viewer often doesn't get and part of it is creating the mood for the story the image is telling.
My sneaky peek for today is an image of Oliver, dressed up as a confederate child. The cornfield in nearby Burgh Castle could be anywhere in the US and the look he gives the camera is of steely determination, emphasized by the strong shadow on his nearest eye. The image was photographed in full sun at 6pm and the strobes were used to create the particular lighting effect one behind my right shoulder and the other at 60 degrees to my left.
I hope you like this image and as usual I look forward to your comments. If you would like to book an editorial styled photoshoot with me please email me on contact@antonellamuscatphotography.co.uk or give me a call on 07748 197522
