• New photo project idea. Suggestions?
    4 replies, posted
So I'm in an advanced photography class this semester at college, and the class is all about lighting. I decided I want to do something creative instead of the usual single light shining on a persons face trick that seems to be what most enjoy. Concept: 7 deadly sins and the shadows we hide I'm gathering 7 models together this Thursday for a photo shoot where each will represent a sin. The lights will be positioned to the left as to push the shadows out in one direction. I'll then, with photoshop, I'll create their sin with shadows. I went into the studio last week and took some test shots of myself-- which might I add, is rather difficult to focus a camera on yourself when you're not in the shot yet-- so I could see how it would turn out. I didn't represent one of the sins, but this image shows pretty much what I'm going for. Any C&C would be helpful, as I'll be shooting in a couple days.

Good idea, but I dislike how it fades to completely white.
The arms would be more interesting if they were more curved rather than in straight lines, if you get me.
I liked the overall concept of it, so I decided to try to edit it to the best of my abilities. Working with only what I had, I used the burn/dodge/smudge tools to modify it. I may have made it worse, but it only took me 5 minutes. So it's not like it was a major impact on my daily self-allotted free time. :} [media]http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/634/editedstuffa.png[/media]
Pillow, I thjink that it looks good, except for the light spots around the hands. IF you got rid of those I think it would be better. Also, some of the smudges are too visible.
