hi everyone,

thanks to all who commented on this image both during and after the challenge. i know that the ‘personification’ aspect of this entry wasn’t entirely obvious, but the comments i received tell me that many of you understood completely what i was trying to convey here, and this is truly gratifying to me!

setting up all the bulbs was a fair amount of work, and i would be happy to elaborate on the process if desired. the most difficult aspect was getting the exposure just right, as minute changes in the lighting tended to completely change the mood of the shot.

here̢۪s an outtake that, to me anyway, feels very different:



also i would like to extend my congratulations to the ribbon winners and my respect to many others in this challenge who submitted such excellent work.
