Who knew that photography was a different world in itself. I didn't photoshop the smoke in this picture. (it was from my e-cig)

Off camera flash behind me and an on camera flash for fill. Taken by myself.

Our trivial existence won't last long. None of us will be remembered past 3 generations.
How do you, personally, deal with this?

This photo was taken with one shot.
A tennis ball, drenched in gasoline was anchored to a cordless drill. I ignited the ball and spun it behind them,

Zooming into the detail of her fur, the contrast of my cat became more prevalent.

That would be my sister standing there...

This is a re-post by the way. I wanted to make the watermark a bit more subtle for the Silhou

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my apartment's shower. I tried to think of the place where I'd cause the least mess while keeping my equipment out of harm. Though my equipment survived, my bathroom was drenched in water by the end of the shoot.

Time

Inspiration strikes at strange times. I found myself setting up the shot at 2am on a work day.

Lighting

I used hard light to cast shadows from every feature of my face and neck. I wanted to emphasize the expression of stress, and aimed to explore every aspect of conveying the emotion. The black background was achieved by hanging a black sheet from the shower curtain behind me.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D3100 mounted on a Promaster tripod. I used my 40mm Nikkor macro lens--nice and sharp. A Neewer NW 565EX was beside the lens.

Inspiration

Severe, clinical depression. I took this shot at the peak of it, which made it easy to scream and wake up the neighbors.

Editing

I always try to keep my post-processing to a minimum--I want to see a near-finished photo on the screen of my camera (so much so, that I mounted my camera with a portrait orientation, just so I wouldn't have to rotate the image in post. Tedious, but that's how I roll). But because my bathroom was so tiny (think of the size of a golf cart), the light from the flash was illuminating the sheet behind me. Normally the sheet would have been at least 5 feet from my subject, as to remain black. So a reduction of both the black level and the shadow level hid the sheet quite well. I also increased the clarity to bring out every stress line and water droplets.

In my camera bag

I'll always leave my apartment with my 50mm f1.4 prime mounted on my D7000. A nice, fast lense with beautiful bokeh. Next would be my 18-250mm. A bit more bulky, but it covers most of what I am looking to shoot--both wide shots of architecture, and telephoto shots of wildlife. I'll usually pack my 8mm fisheye, because I'm a hipster at heart. And to top it all off, I'll pack my flash gun mounted on a remote trigger.

Feedback

Prioritize emotion. Think of what you want the final picture to be, and any aspect that would help with capturing the emotion (in this case; hard light, black background, water falling horizontally, my expression. All contributes to the feeling of wrath and unease). Get symbolic (but not in a cheesy way)! Imagine this shot, but without water. Not as impactful, eh? But most importantly: Experiment! Take some bad pictures, and figure out how to make something from it. Recognize what doesn't work--what doesn't look good to you--and try again!
