Photo a Day: 4/Rachael and the sun lamp


Day 4: Sometimes inspiration acts at odd times and in odd ways. I was having Rachael pose in a dark room for some laser pointer light painting (I'll bring that out for another day). I fired off the flash a few times to see where everything was. It was just a test shot, but I really like how it turned out. It reminds me of photographs from the Soviet Union of kids getting sun lamp treatment. The photographs are always really blue and the kids are wearing sunglasses. Creepy, just like this one. For editing I just boosted the exposure on the edges by about one stop. The vignetting was a product of the way the flash fired.
