I shot this image as a chance to practice with the new lighting I had at the time, Alien Bees with some soft boxes and umbrellas. The model had some ideas prepared so we decide to duplicate the ideas. What I like about this image is the tones as well as the clarity of the glasses. I used a polarizer to help reduce the reflected light of the lenses of the glasses. I had 2 lights setup, one for the face coming from the right side of the frame, and one from behind the left side of her head. I would be curious to how you would change the light setup?

Similar to the Zombie Sandra image this utilizes the technique of sucking all the colour out of the image and creating a heavy contrast. What really caught my attention while editing this was the incredible texture revealed in the hands. I also like the shapes the hands create, the way the hands interact with each other and the black and white tones.

This image was shot in our makeshift home studio with a bed sheet in front of the subject. The goal here was to make it look like the subject was trapped behind something (a block of ice?). I liked how the finger tips touching the material made it apparent that they were lightly touching the object they are ‘trapped’ behind. I edited this in such a way to give it a light feeling but hopefully provides some visual discomfort when recognizing the figure shapes as alien looking arms.
