Description
the poor-man's attemptive suicide,this started as an attempt on a series for "disorientation" using conflicting elements of orientation (match and face),
but it evolved into something much different when i gave it a title.

Very cool shot, the lighting and colours are great, but being that close above a flame had to hurt!

yeah it did.... it was especially hard to just stay still long enough to get the shot,
thanks though,
makes it all worth it

Wow...the lighting from the match here is amazing!

wow, the colors are insane. the straight red to black gives this an extremely interesting feel. the flame pointing straight towards the face also helps to direct the center of attention it, even though it isn't in the center of the frame. very nice effect, and very well done.

Awesome camera and great concept!
The only thing I might do to this would be tweak the colors a bit, but otherwise this is good.

I really like what you were going for in this shot, not bad at all. Did you use any filters (polarize or otherwise)?
π: 0 β©: 1
nope, no filters at all
Very little adjustments in PS too

very clean considering the low light level, what was your speed set, to keep shake blur at a minimum?
π: 0 β©: 1
shutter was at 1/20 and a iso of 1600,
It's my face in the shot so I had the camera on a tripod and i had to reach over to press the shutter manually.

man you really had to work for that one. Respect.

Very very nice, it's different of the regual foto with fire because the fire goes in the other direction
Why painful? did it burn? lol
'njoy and good job

yeah it was really hot and I had to take the shot a number of times to get it just right,
that and inhaling carbon wasn't too much fun

Good Job and Good effort
'njoy

that's a beautiful shot.
he's quite dark but not blurred, eventhough the exposure time may have been quite long?

this is fantastic, i didnt realise this picture was rotated, it really does look like you're inhaling the flame
i think it was worth the pain

This is actually a pretty damn good idea for a pic! it's so simple, I never thought of it! awsome job

Perfectly-lit, I'd say. Just the right amount of shadow and light.

That's an amazing photo! You should be proud of it.

this is a very lovely silhouette! the lighting worked out so well..
π: 0 β©: 0
how did you creat the background complitly black ?
the photo is very whell done, i like the effect of the fire in the photo
π: 0 β©: 1
the only lighting in the picture is from the flame,
It isnt bright enough to light the backround behind me so it just comes out black,
i'm glad you like it

disorientation, i'm curious, how so??
i like how the flame is captured so smoothly
and it's like you're trying to breath it in
and this has such a warm feel

it started out as a instance of conflicting orientations. (Faces go up and down and flames go left?).
the shot was taken with me hovering over the flame,
but the result looked like i was inhaling the flame, so i spun it that way.

oh good! i understand
i like it. and the theme of disorientation itself

This picture looks interesting. This time, the flame is going towards the person, who is doing the inhaling. Well, it is interesting how you managed to get the flame in that (horizontal) position. The lighting from the flame is perfect as it sets up the photo's mood.

I like this piece, it very daring. I really like the simplicity of this piece and that the face is glowing in the matches' light, creates a sunlight glow, quite unearthy on the face. But it does create a religious effect. Maybe a light of hope and pray. What's daring is that the flame almost drawing to her lips as she inhales. Thats fire is fasinating but very dangerous. Maybe having the piece wider or longer. Play around with the proportions. It's quite good to have a close up but still see more light that the fire created. Well done.

I find the contrasts and the shadows to be very welcoming. The warmth of the picture is almost welcoming.
This should have more favs than it has.

I like your idea very much ! very original !
You said it was a painful one ...did you burned yourself ?
π: 0 β©: 1
well i was hovering over the flame, so my mouth got very very hot and i inhaled a bit too much carbon...
i'm glad you like it though
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes It's a very nice picture and I love the idea ! I think it's very surrealistic...in a RenΓ© Magritte way !

another great one- you really know how to frame a good photo. I especially like how the flame is going towards the person

I think this one could also do with a kind of thin border

Good light capture
I like the way the flame bends
