Coloring the Shadows
Experimental shadowplay shoot with Rusty Shackelford
January 29, 2012
I started 2012, photographically speaking, much as I ended 2011 - shooting with Rusty!
Rusty was booked at the studio on this date for a shoot with another renting photographer, and so we made plans to take a couple of hours immediately afterward for some additional shooting ourselves.
I ended up using Rusty as a 'guinea pig' to try out some lighting experiments involving colored shadows that I'd been wanting to attempt for quite some time. The experiment was a success, and though these images are very much 'trial run' technical studies, quite a few of them also stand on their won as artistically pleasing shots in themselves.
It's a definite case of 'proof of concept' that now opens up all sorts of possibilities for putting to use this new variation on shadowplay in future shoots.
