Description This was the idea of my girl ~synesthesiac and we were on a photography spree, so we broke down and went to wallmart and got a fish. His name is fish, by the way, hence the title of the piece. It was just so hard to get a perfect shot on this scene, because of the fact we had to keep the light bulb reflection out of the bowl, and get the refraction of the light just right so it flipped the background; on a really crappy tripod. AND FISH WOULDN'T STOP MOVING! We'll probably end up taking another.

*I admit there was some photoshopping first off to make it black and white, but also some "bad spot" removals.

Hey there,

We were both very impressed by the concept of this photograph. If you don't mind, we're planning to do a shoot inspired by your concept, because we'd like to see what happens when we give it our own little twist...

I love the 2-tone half-and-half borderline. How it's all black and white. Awesome work!

This is a pretty cool concept. How did you do the background? Is it board or black paper? The reflection of the bowl and the flipped background in the water is great. Hope you kept fish after the shoot!

The background is a set of 2 boards, one black, one white, the type you would buy at say.... wallmart, in say... the school supplies section. (next to the writing supplies).
