Description
This....is seriousley the best effing photograph Ive ever done in my life! ( well..so far anyway). Im not going to lie its probabley my most favorite too. The phantom of the opera was one of the first i was looking forward to doing. This was modeled by another good friend of mine, danny. I knew he had the mask and the cape so i knew hed be best for it, but when he came out from the bathroom my heart kinda jumped out of my chest. Even though many of my friends had the costumes for the part, some didnt have everythign that i wanterd. Fortunatly my dad had some old suits and halloween costumes. was with a dark blue dress coat and a lace shirt. My friend danny had put them on under his cloak and he had jelled up his hair. I was quite surprised at how amazing and realistic he looked as the phantom. BY god he could have walked around the stage in school and I beleive some girls might actually belive he was the phantom. lol anyways, even though he did well in his pictures, there was, as always, something that seemed to be missing. It wasnt until the near end of the shooting until we decided to put the top hat on him and i got this close up. It reminds me exactly of a framed photograph my mother had gotten me by a photographer named Gary Sedel who had made a more professional photograph of the phantom in the setting of the actual Paris opera house where the Phantom storie was born. I love the fact that his face is almost completly hidden and including his right eye.Anyways the pics i had just ubdated so far are my four classic monsters:
Frankenstein
Mad scientist
Vampire
Phantom of the opera
(Werewolf--may make prints of)
By the way, on a personal note Im a pretty big fan of the phantom of the opera but im also Christian. Lol im not saying that its evil its just seems that, coincedently, The number 666 always seems to turn up sometime when it comes to the phantom of the opera.
First example: If you ever happen to watch the newest movie they made starring Gerard Butler and Emmy Rosum, in the beginning when they are auctioning off items from the opera house, the lot for the broken chadelier was lot 666...
Second example:In reading "phantom" by susan kay i know they used that number at least once in the story (i dont remmber where but i know it was) and-
example three: When uploading this pic to my page i found that the Original size was (666) X 846 pixels.
hmmm....well..at least im not a strict christian even though it is quite odd.
Anyways so yea those are my four monster pictures but the next few(if they havent been viewed already) are of either two of my models or one who isnt a monster (there are only two actually.)
Update: someone took my photo and made it a tattoo!

Uh... but... but *sad face* the Phantom isn't a monster! He's a misunderstood, pitiable musical genius! I wanna give him a big hug. And your friend too, he's an excellent Phantom model! Great job!

i kno i dont see him as a monster either,but my assignment at that time was studio photograhy and i wanted to do classic monsters. technically the monsters are supposed to be like ones from the 30's or early and the phantom was considered one of them. plus it gave me an excuse to photograph him .thanks!

I like the the phantom of the opera, but mainly I prefer the music of the night, because the Phantom shows Christine a new world, his world

mmm good point, i like that song too. although when i saw the musical production of the phantom in that scene in which phantom sings to her, for some reason i found it really funny(something to do with his hand movements) and i guess i just had a hard time taking it seriously ever since haha

I wanted to say...this is the best portrait of the Phantom I have ever seen. Dark, yet revealing just a bit to entice us to follow.
