Roll Model

Have been looking around for some inspiring portrait shots to get ideas for lighting & get away from my fail safe rim light. Found a few nice things & decided to play with a technique I have actually already used in Namibia. Remembered we have a big screen my mom used to project on, so rolled it down & it worked like a charm. Started out just testing & doing random poses & have wanted to do a shot of me with my skates, so got one from the car & had to wear my Denial "Go & Roll" tee. A good reminder to keep me rolling a lot these holidays. Took a few tries to get my arm & head at the right angle for the shot & lighting & was alone, so used the selftimer & ran into place. Didn't take too long before I started to get something decent & just kept going so I had a few to choose from & here are 2 of my favs with some lighting info.


A few more self portraits I've been playing with. Just needed to have some fun.
