"Where Is that Pesky White Rabbit?"
Lost in DarkWoodsWonderland
Becoming apart of the Nightmare
-----
My theme for these images was showing the more darker and twisted side of Alice in Wonderland with the help of model Angie and my assistant Brianda. I used Angie because she isn't the typical image you think of when you think of Alica in wonderland. Which is why i asked her for this particular shoot. I didn't want to portray the commercialized version of Alice in my photos. In each of the pictures I used, I tried not to get her directly in the center, though in the top one she technically is, but to me it works. In each of the images I used scratch and crack brushes to add more to the 'Darkness' i was trying to portray in this shoot. In the top and bottom images, I added cracking to my model's face to kind of give it that greater feel of weakness and frailtivity to my 'Alice'. With all of the images, I saturated the images and contrasted them till I got the look I sort of liked and then I changed the color levels to all of them. The first two I added more yellw to the image and the last one I took away some red and blue from the image. The top image I added a white rabbit (still going with the Alice in wonderland theme) to try to get the viewers mind going and to try and find the rabbit as the title suggests to do ("Where is that Pesky White Rabbit?"). The last image has the chainlink fence in it to get of a more urban feel to the image, again to destroy the commercialized
The lighting at the time when I took these images couldn't have been more perfect if I wanted to be. It was bright out with barely any clouds out. With the bottom image (which I actually took before the others), I had my assistant Brianda use a gold cad to shine a reflection onto my model to capture her face better in the shaded area. I think I could have done that with the top image too (which I took after the other two) to capture the top part of her face that was shadowed by her hair. All my angles in these images are pretty strait forward. I just had my camera either horizontal or vertical and shot. But I decided to go with a horizontal angle with the top image to get more of the image to get a feel of searching.
These images I think are the best I have taken yet.
