Making Of Week 40

See the result here: http://www.morffed.com/2014/Self-Portrait-A-Week/i-NGhHwGc/A

Since my camera spent a month in a broken state and had to be sent off for repair, I sort of gave up on trying to shoot decent pictures with a phone camera, so I waited until the real thing got back and I'll now be catching up. I did shoot a lame phone camera shot in the woods, but since it didn't push my creativity like this project is supposed to, I'm replacing it.

This one was shot in a friend's old dusty shop. The lighting is a single strobe on a light stand set at a height to throw my shadow on the floor behind me as I ran through the doorway (not the location pictured here). The effect is not exactly what I was looking for, it turned out to be very difficult for me to figure out the details of lighting this one to get what I wanted - which is exactly what this project is for, so I'm happy I got to toy around with a new lighting technique, even if I didn't get the perfect end result. I'm happy with it, but I would have preferred a more defined shadow that would throw a little more emotion into things.
