Beautiful decay | 09:58PM May 14, 2008
For this shot, Liz and I climbed into an old munitions hold located beneath the fort. Oh yes, into a munitions hold in 4” heels. Any questions?
The room proved to be an interesting lighting dilemma, mostly because the ceilings were barely 6 feet. I wanted a moody look here, but since the ceiling was so low it was hard to keep the light from bouncing around. A nice little grid spot certainly would have helped.
In any regard, I particularly enjoy the post on this image. It has that little something extra that I always look for in portraits. The skin is smooth, the wall gritty, and the overall image somewhere in between. Now if I could just figure out how I pulled this off.
Oh well, I suppose that’s part of the fun.
