The White Box Series
Over the years, after spending enough time in a studio, pondering
how to manipulate light sources, to create different effects, you end
up with quite a collection of various things used to filter lights
through, and reflect lights off of. One of these artifacts, that I had
made, was a simple black painted, wooden frame, with frosted
mylar sheeting cut to size, and stapled in place - such devices are
far, far more affordable, if you can build them yourself. One of
the themes that I enjoy photographing, particularly of the figure,
are silhouettes, * as if you can’t tell, by now : ) “.
So it occurred to me, how cool it would be, to be able to create
silhouettes anywhere. This series, presents my favorite compositions
from an afternoon of shooting, up in the hills south of San Jose,
California. I had my subject both holding the frame, and posing
behind it, to create these lone silhouettes amongst various
backgrounds. It’s always very satisfying, when you’re able
to come up with an idea worth doing, and then being able to execute
it to where the results are worth sharing. Fortunately, this is one of
those occasions.
