Repeated exposures and printings and re-framings - 10 in all.

This was more of a proof of concept project than anything else. If anything, one thing I learned out of it is to be very careful with color corrections I make before each printing - because they will only get compounded over time - hence the increasingly bluish tint the further into the image you get.

Still though, I like the result (and i've decided to leave the whole setup in my kitchen - not just the framed print, for now : ) and have plans that are grander and more nefarious. Now to find, amongst other thing, a very, very patient model.

In all, it took me about 4 hours to do. One hour to get the original scene set up and the lighting set up the way i wanted it. I still think it could use some work - there's some shadowing going on that I would have liked to have not had there. (I punted on continuing to mess with it in favor of going on with the rest of the project).

Then it was roughly 3 hours of "shoot, download, adjust, crop, print, re-frame" - and took about 15-20 minutes for each round. I imagine that when I do this with larger prints my cycle time is going to be even higher - which means no natural light (or doing this X days in a row at roughly the same time of day) - and also probably means a preference for patient subjects.

The camera was the Canon 5d, the lens was the 50mm f/1.8 'plastic fantastic'. I had two flashes in soft boxes off to each side and one flash reflected in an umbrella above everything pointing down at a roughly 60 degree angle. The prints were made on an Epson r220 with photo glossy paper. The frame is a simple Ikea frame.

It would be better with a model because things would be slightly different in each shot and it would look less like a photoshop thing.

very nice! towards the end of my photography week I started creating images, rather than simply taking them, and that opened up a whole new world..

In the old days, we woulda done that with Photoshop.

Arg...I so wish you were here so I could talk art with you! Maybe I'll get Ted to photograph my collages nicely and put them online, because I worked with repetition as well, and it really worked.

I like this pic! It took me a while to figure it out.
