Behind The Lens
Location
as with most of my self portraiture work, i shot it in my garage/studioTime
most likely at night when i shoot most of my work, though i think i actually shot this one in the afternoonLighting
two light setup with a beauty dish up and above me as the key light one strobe with a spotlight grid aimed behind me on the backgroundEquipment
i shot this with an 85mm at f/10 1/250 sec on a canon 7D. i used elinchrom strobes and modifiers for the lightingInspiration
this photo was part of what is called the "Chrysta Rae photography scavenger hunt" over on Google+. you are given a list of 10 words and you interpret the list how you see fit photographically. this particular shot was for the word "funny face"Editing
to do this shot i first shot myself with my hands outstretched holding a scull mask so that my hands would be in the proper position and structure of holding a mask. i then took a second shot with my face in the general same position that i was holding the mask so the lighting matched as well as the distance from the camera. i then brought the two images together in photoshop and masked out areas of each to blend the two together. i used NIK silver EFX pro for some of the sharpening and then some final adjustments in lightroomIn my camera bag
canon 7D, 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 wide angle, 85mm f/1.8, 70-200mm f/2.8, 580EXII speedlight, pocket wizard transmitter/receiver, extra batteries, extra CF cards, remote trigger, 10 stop ND filterFeedback
the key to a convincing composite is all in the physics of the shot. you need to understand light angles, shadows as well as camera angle/distance all the way through the shot to capture the needed elements in the proper way from the start. moving the camera or lighting midway through shooting different elements of the shot can throw the whole thing off and make it very difficult to recover once in photoshop. i recommend experimenting and experimenting a lot to get comfortable with how light works with the subject
