strange games
A little while ago, I started participating in a weekly themed photography group. Every week, on a Wednesday, the theme for the week is announced, and all the members get to submit a single photo. This week’s theme is “games”. Initially, I was going to shoot a 70-s decadence scene, with a pair of dice, white powder on a mirror, a tired girl in a black dress wiping her brow… Then, thinking about it some more, I figured that these aren’t the games I’m particularly interested in, and I brought the whole thing around to fit better with my overall vision for where I want to take my photography. Here’s what came out of it.
To get this shot, I took advantage of the fact that I can point one of my lights through a window in my living room to make it shine out of a window in my bedroom for a dramatic morning-light effect in the middle of the night.
