Russell; Getting Snooty

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 18 January 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

I know it's hard to believe that terrible pun. I shot this with a homemade snoot that I made yesterday. I made one the other day but I thought I could make a better one so I gathered up some materials, put a little more thought into it and voila! A new improved and very cheap snoot.

I wanted to test it right away and so I found Russell sitting at my comp looking at some silly college stuff...sheesh...priorities! ;-P. I set the flash on a cabinet next to him and snapped this one without much enthusiasm on his part. He was rather perturbed that I was bothering him with this.

I know this one is very dark, but I rather liked the mysterious nature of it. Next time I want to play with more fill light and such but this was just a very quick snap done on the fly. I need to experiment more and try different things. I think I am going to like using this tool. Now I need to find a more co-operative, patient, and tolerant subject...Oh Jon...Come here a minute...Yeah right!

I've posted some photos where I used my DIY lightbox on Capture This if anyone is interested in having a look here and here.
