97. Drowning

Yo! I went inside Powai lake today. I was just wandering around that area to find a good place to shoot and I saw people coming from the side of lake. So I decided to go and take a look. It was such an awesome view. An awesome cool breeze and silence. I decided to make a photograph there. Initially I thought of taking a photograph showing only legs, like somebody is upside down in the lake but it proved too much difficult to do. Even the simple portrait was difficult to take as I don’t have a remote trigger. But Finally I changed the idea and it turned out to be good. I have used expansion to expand this photograph.

17. My body is a cage

This photograph is inspired from the song “My body is a cage” by Arcade Fire. The technique to take this kind of photograph is simple. The lights should be  behind the subject and a semi-transparent cloth. I got an added advantage that the cloth I used had an inbuilt texture in it.

This was the initial shot. The major problem I observed was the intensity of light source. Other thing which could be improved was that area of contact of hands and cloth.  So, I increased the light intensity and ask the model to apply pressure only on the selected parts.
