Silhouette
Well, if Making a Murderer isn't just what good TV is all about. Ruth and I sat through 6 episodes in one sitting. We never sit through that many episodes of anything and we've never stayed up until 02:30 watching a show either.
I had the idea for this shot right as we decided enough was enough, but equally I was too tired and I wasn't prepared to start taking photos.
The next day however, I coerced Ruth into sitting in front of the TV and got this shot.
It didn't come out as hoped, I was needed the 50mm lens really and more space, but it still captures the idea I had of someone transfixed by a TV show.

I confess that I didn't see the silhouette at first but it's a good concept. I think silhouettes are unexpectedly difficult to get right. You'be got Ruth's head in there as a silhouette but evidently it wasn't necessarily clear what the picture is. Perhaps you need a cinema screen to get this kind of short right.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of interest in this image though, it has certainly had me looking back at it and seeing beyond what is was that initially got my attention. First I saw the text and the open door. Then I realised the outline of the ear and head. Then I saw the full outline and get the sense of "watching". So I like the layers that come out in this picture.
