Get Pushed Week 425
my get pushed partner this week challenged me to review the work of Japanese photographer Miyako Ishiuchi from a book she did called 1.9.4.7 which is a set of black and white photographs of hands and feet take some similar images this week.
It was a bit difficult for me, who uses mostly natural light, to get the lighting to be what I wanted it to be. It was also difficult for me to take these "selfies." Too bad I don't have someone here most of the time to pose for me. All in all it was an interesting challenge and I spent a lot of time planning it out in my head and took a number of photos that didn't work out.
@kali66 Thank you Kali. This was definitely a challenge for me. Thank goodness I don't work and I have plenty of time to think, plan, photograph and mess about with photoshop.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. I appreciate your praise. @kali66 Glad you like these Kali. Thank you. @kjarn Thank you Kathy. @jamibann Thanks so much Issi. @thewatersphotos Thank you Gary. They do what the name same suggests - they push me. They do take time to plan and then execute though. I couldn't have done this when I worked. @wakelys Thanks so much Susan.
I am really impressed Kathy- on all points! I would be very reluctant to photograph my feet and hands but you rose to the occasion! The lighting is superb too. Well done!
@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry. Led to the subject by my get-pushed partner or I probably wouldn't have done it. @olivetreeann Darkness hides a multitude of sins. My hands and feet are not photogenic, but post-processing helped a bit. Thank you very much Ann.
@mcsiegle Thank you. The tip I was given about the artist showed her photos in an album. Unfortunately after several hours working on this, I realized the photos were on white pages. I wasn't about to go back and change this, so I didn't.
Jackie, my closet is a adjacent to my bathroom which has a window. I stood just in the light coming in the door to the closet adjusting exposure until I got some I liked. Sidelit, I guess is the technical term. I don't own or use anything but natural light or lamps or an occasional flashlight.
