It's been done. You have a lot of empty space that's not really contributing anything to the photograph. The figure is in pretty much the definition of a boring position where he is really not saying anything or making any appreciable impact on the photograph. The light you put back there killed all the drama and warmth of the tea lights by flooding the walls with shadowless, harsh white light that doesn't really do anything for the picture except make the exposure time shorter.

Don't mean to bag on you, but it's just not doing anything for me at all. A for effort. That many tea lights...maybe have the figure at the end of the hall looking creepy or something. Or maybe have him move verrrrry slowly to create a wierd blur and then hit him with the flash at the end or something. There's just no real...statement being made here.

I fully agree with Desmet, but would also suggest having him lie face down, and poor "blood" all over the place. Might make for a fun shot. I've had a similar idea, might have to act on it this weekend...

100 tealights and a hallway


Dude. Didn't you notice the chunky corpse in the middle of the floor when you were placing all of those lights?

Yeah, I agree with the top statements. If your going to put a figure in these pics make sure they're interesting or it just detracts. And if your shooting digital remember, shoot alot.

I think the thing that's missing in all of these is the mood. You've got a great location, and awesome setting for a really cool shot, but then at the very end you throw in some people that look uncomfortable or out of place.

The Body on the floor would probably have looked better if he (you, i guess) were in a meditational position. Or as mentioned in a pool of corn-syrup blood...

You need to pick a theme and set the mood properly. (and move that can; it ruins the symmetry)


I don't think I'm expressing myself too well here...

I guess what I'm saying is either go all out, or leave yourself out.
If you want it to look gothic, get a black trench coat.
If you want it too look creepy, use facial expressions and utilize the lights.
If you want it to look mystical, don't show faces and use the tealights to make star shapes in the lense. (Lots of filters out there to help U with that)
If you want it too look sacrilegious try standing in a crucifix, rather than that left turn signal in the pic with one arm out...

It's such a great setting. Just needs a little tweaking

I don't like this use of figures in the picture as mentioned above. It looks like you are trying to have fun rather than take serious pictures

The critiques offered lead me to think that this wasn't such a good idea. I think if the figure were removed, the pic might have some merit, but it may also look like a lonely housewife's Valentine dream. Keep taking pictures!

You betcha
