The final two of my halloween project. The halloween project is now complete only took a good six or so months but all good things in time. I Wanted one high key "pretty" photo for my Head lineing The Halloween Serial.


There it is, the setup. Nothing too wild here just 2 lights on the background ,no light modifiers, and 2 lights on the subject. The 2 lights on the subject are soft boxed lights. Thanks Eve for the setup shot something I always forget to do.






I am of the opinion that the light you use to light your subject needs to be how you want it to feel. So so high impact requires hard light. I have seen some photos in magazines of babies in little outfits photographed in hard light and I wonder why? High fashion ramp model Babies? Hardcore Babies? Models etc. yes I get but babies? Well I wanted to have a pleasing happy and comfy light in these photos so soft light it is.
Shannon got the many watt seconds and cat got not so many. I wanted to photograph Cat (The Serial Witch - she really is a lovely person though) with the dramatic look one light close up. Shannon (Razor blade Suicide Serial) I wanted it to stand apart from to rest of the project to be the introduction if you will but I had to do it last go figure.

I have been told that I waffle too much so I'm keeping it short and sweet.
