| | | I swear these lights were left just like this, they were even glowing when I got there! I will admittedly set up shots from time to time, what I do most often is if I find something cool in a closet or a drawer I'll set it/them up somewhere, as mentioned above in a place with good light, shoot it and put it away. Some things simply can't be shot the way they are found This shot for example, everything in the scene was found in drawers, closets, buries under debris. Now, an example of taking things waaaay too far would be this one, where RiddimRyder and I took everything off of the dining room table and set up a beautiful Christmas dinner with all of the things we found laying around the house. We even moved the record player and placed s Christmas album in the scene, lit candles and I put on a hat that I found. Taking the nonsense a step further, we photoshopped a turkey on the platter! Here is another fave where Riddim, Kronix and I set up a post-apocalyptic Thanksgiving dinner in an abandoned house I don't stage nearly as much as I used to, and when I do it's either for something really stupid like these pics above or to showcase things I have found. I'll leave you with this parting thought. This shot below, I set this whole room up in 2013 with things that were found all over the house, when I was done shooting the scene, I scattered all of the items all over the house in different spots, hiding them. Two weeks after I posted my photos online, someone went to the house, found almost all of the items that made up MY shot, he set them up all in the exact same way and then posted it as his own idea, he didn't tear it down and everyone who went after him took the same shot. The "silver lining" here is that I eventually sold prints and rights to these photos to an Oscar nominated Production Designer who was interested in possibly using that scene for a potential film set. She keeps an idea book of scenes she refers back to when in search of ideas. This woman was the Production Designer on American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook and many others. So, staging shots isn't ALWAYS a bad thing!!
