Float On

Explore #500 April 5, 2008

This is my favorite of a series I did for my art photography class. The series had relation to outer-body experiences and relationships while dreaming.

Strobist: one cheapo achiever flash on a stand behind the mailbox pointed slightly to the left of the model triggered by ebay triggers (which actually got too cold and refused to work after this).

This is the photo I have been most proud of for a long time. It's the background for my portfolio website: jayceg.com

It was getting cold and I didn't want her to be out to late so I was trying to hurry. I looked at my camera screen thinking I'd have to tweak the lighting or get her to move or twist or something.. but no. first shot! I yelled to her across the street, "That's good! Done!" She was shocked too, but I showed her the screen and she liked it as well. It's a good thing that it was good after one shot because my cheepo eBay triggers stopped working because they got too cold after that. Thanks a ton for your help Molly, Brea and Winter!
