Moves echo
« on: September 16, 2015, 12:23:07 »
Here is a presentation of an exercise. I was trying to get some information from the shadows and playing with the relationship it creates with the main subject: complement, opposition, etc...

  not sure about the outcoming. C&C always welcome

I kinda like them in an abstract way.

The third and last shadow are my favs. Somethings all you need is the shadow without the shadow creator.

I don't bond with the first image, maybe because of the framing.
N. 2, 3 and 4 and marvels. Timing, framing, everything is there.
For the third, I keep wondering of the shadow is the woman's on another one's... so I keep going from one to the other. The shadow looks suprised and expecting something to happen, while the "real" hand is so authoritarian!

Paco, all of them are great!
It's nice to see that you see it differently. Chasing the shadows the way you do is no accident.

I like your exercises ;-)

Especially the second.

I often have been trying to include shadows in stage shots, but I never manged to make them work like yours.

cheers

Thanks for your input. I was excited while shooting and having a great time doing it. Later on... I kind like them, too. But I think it is an idea worth repeating. All the things you can see!

This kind of situations always makes me wonder what are other people seeing :)

Excellent set!  I like the compositions very much.  B&W is very effective too.


My favorites are #3, #4 & #6.


Well done!
