Projection

What if you took two digital projectors and projected images on and behind your subject? The cool thing about this is that you see results right away without importing two images into the computer and then cutting them out. It is faster, and the model has a lot more fun and can interact with the images.

Bottom Line: With a projector or two and without a computer you can create some interesting images.

These are all shot in the range of 105mm, f19, 1/10, some with a Speedlight.

Simply projecting an image of the City Hall of Genoa behind Nicole puts her in Italy.

Suppose you take the second projector and project a Shakespeare sonnet on your subject? You already tried that?

What if you project the Genoa city hall both on and behind your subject? It makes her somewhat transparent looking.

If you pop a stormy sky in the background projection, you get instant drama.

What if you went completely nuts and projected a wild pattern of stars and hearts behind the subject on a red background, and then more stars and hearts right on her? You get this. Now you know.

And what if you projected red background stars and hearts both behind and ON the subject at two different scales?

Just the red color with hearts and stars on the face and nothing but black and white Shakespeare in the background. I have no idea what this image means, but I bet somebody does.

"Hey, lets try projecting the sonnet on a red background both behind, and onto Nicole at the same time!"

The only cool thing is that it turns out that this sonnet has the phrase "men's eyes" in it, and the phrase ended up right below Nicole's eye. So you can pronounce the whole thing as some sort of statement about men objectifying women - if you like.
