long night

more long exposures. used the tripod this time. I tried a flashlight on the first two shots here. In the last one Deitra is using the flash.

would it be ridiculous if I came up with some pretentious statement about involving the the subject with the creation of the image, tearing down the typical form of the passive subject?

... probably. let's forget that then, i'll save that for art school.

exposed

Long exposures with no tripod. I used the flash intermittently. I had the subject hold the flash and turn it on himself on my cue. This made it possible to expose the same subject multiple times (see 3rd and 4th photo). With this technique I've found that there are many variables to explore... position of flash= effecting contrast and general balance of photograph. Also the timing of shudder speed is something to consider. So far my process has been pretty intuitive, which in some cases works to my benefit; other times not so much. Next shoot I will bring the tripod out, regardless of how dead and cumbersome it is.
