Weather has gotten dramatically better in Vancouver. This is one shot from my back porch last week.

Tamara Mandala 7
This is a series I shot for my last class at VPW. While others were using the big lights I reverted to something that I cooked up myself: projecting symbols using my Cookie Gun. This is a projector using a flash shooting a cuculoris ("cookie") through a telephoto lens. With the telephoto I can focus and zoom the image though with this version of it, it is quite limited. That said, I got quite a bit of interest from a couple of the instructors at VPW so I'm glad to 'return some of the learning' I got in that studio course.
This is my friend Tamara who subbed in for a model who had an emergency and couldn't make it. She has a dancer's physique and soldiered on through the demands even after a C-stand accidentally fell on her. Yes, I made a model cry.
Lighting info:
-- Key: Projected cookie through "Cookie Gun" from camera right pointing at her body
-- background: existing track lighting on concrete wall
-- other: there's a plexiglass layer behind her. It's not doing much but picking up a bit of the cookie
-- the cookie is a mandala
And old post where I explain more about the Cookie gun and its uses.

This cookie is a sufi symbol called "The Hand of Fatima".

This cookie is a sufi symbol called "The Hand of Fatima". or Hamsa.
