[wendellt]

This is an ongoing project i'm working on with the Sydney Dance Company entitled New Creations
i worked with the artistic director to get these shots

1/400 f4 iso 3200







last one is my very own setup, forground is a transparent veil with a projection
i positioned myself so the dancers appear to be inside the womans head to show the duality between contemplation and reflection

man, check those muscles out on the dude in the third image - thats what I call buff...

Wendell that final image is a stunner, amazing creativity - I dont quite understand how ya did it but, that all done without liberal photochop has me impressed..as always...

what lens were you using for these?

[wendellt]

thanks for the comment
yeah these people have the best bodies although muscle tone is much more exentuated with side lighting
i was using my 80-200 AFD mostly at 80mm
last one is shot right at the back of the theatre and that projection on the veil is really amazing in real life it's a 3d scan of a couple and it disseminates into particles in animation.

The last one is the one that proves you are a genius Wendell! What a great inspiration!

Wendell,

That last image is just wonderful. Masterful control of the light, wonderful imagination displayed on the creation of the concept, and elegantly completed.

This is just a wonderful example of getting it in the camera.

what i'm stunned about is you keep thinking, keep surprising, keep astounding us. the last image reminds me very much of the mcnally google authors lecture i have had bookmarked for ages, (and watched upteen times). stuff he shows where people say "cool photoshop" only to be told, it was done that way in camera.

this is just superb work.
