The other night a friend of the family was looking through our photos. When she looked at mine and asked me this question, inspiration struck, albeit unhinged, unstable and unbalanced.
I am me.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
uuummmmmmm...Graeme, you look like a demented proctologist prepping for an exam in this shot. If that was the goal, wow! you hit it right on the head! If not, you may want to rethink this look before Halloween!
Good luck getting the face paint off! ;) Wondrously ghoulish pic!
@voiceprintz I was dangerously close to using a wire brush, but eventually the paint came off...sort of. And thanks, I honestly think this is my favourite shot yet.
Another great shot Graeme...love your use of B&W and taking advantage of the white glove to complement the DOF...really well done...I'd have to say it's a very inspired, coupled image, with stable control of light and balanced composition...all supporting your statement of, "I am me."
@andrewkru Thank you, much appreciated - it was fun to do as well, especially the part of the process that involved me done up like this and wandering past the windows while people were walking the streets!
@claireuk and lots of it - it was still coming off the day after! @lynnilou thank you - I think this may be my favourite photo so far...not sure what that says about me, but I can live with it!
Although it's not pretty and I wouldn't want to wake up next to this, I see the artistic merit. Great photo xx
@unfolding Thank you. It's a good day.
@northy Thanks, it's how I roll...
Good luck getting the face paint off! ;) Wondrously ghoulish pic!
@creativefool Thanks - to be honest, I never know what I'm going to do next. it kind of just falls out...
@harbie Thanks, just the effect I was going for
@tasian thank you very much
@semjaja thank you so much, always appreciated!
@lynnilou thank you - I think this may be my favourite photo so far...not sure what that says about me, but I can live with it!
