Alternative Lighting Techniques

Some images from the Alternative Lighting Techniques class

 

 Still Life with Deja Vu
Lit only with candles

This was an edge-lit piece 
All of the items were from the dollar store



Environmental Portrait
This was a painting with light project, using a flashlight in a dark room. My neighbor Neil was good at holding still! There were multiple shots put into layers in Photoshop, brought Neil in at the end and gave him his own layer. 


 Painting with Light
Flashlight with a snoot in a dark room. Took several shots and layered them in Photoshop. Love this technique - it makes things look so painterly! 




 

Flower Scanograms

 

Here's some flower scanography I did for Chuck Lohman's Alternative Photographic Processes class. Got to try some old and new alternative techniques of photography. Great way to jump-start the old creativity!

These flower scanograms were done on a regular scanner in a dark room with the lid up. All of the plants and flowers were from my back yard. I originally tried covering the flowers with a black velvet cloth, but it flattened everything out too much, and the composition was hard to control - the lid-up approach worked best for me.
