Technique: Black & White, Indoors
Lens: Wide Angle 28-224mm (35 Equiv.)
Mood/Message: Mysterious, Curiosity
I wanted to start with a white background where there is also a strong key light, so I got on the dining room table where the chandelier lights my whole face. I was wearing a dark purple shirt, and I automatically thought “CONTRAST!” This photograph had to be very exaggerated, almost unreal to add more mystery to the mood. I call this With Questions because it is what the audience is left with: Who is this person? How is she feeling? Where is she? etc…
