Description
Model is NoriThis was shot with 2 large softboxes on either side of Nori, as she hung by her leg against a grey paper sweep. The rope around her ankle was tied to a steel I-beam in the studio ceiling so I was pretty sure she wouldn't fall.
OK, just kidding!! This was shot with 2 large softboxes on either side of Nori, as she lay on a grey paper sweep. The rope around her ankle was tied to a lead weight to hold it straight and I climbed up on a ladder and shot downward at her. Then I rotated the image in photoshop.

I was browsing through your gallery (note: got directed to you through randomness) when this caught my eye... it caught a fave, too!
Can you give me a few tips? I'm still kind of in the process of finding my style of photography and I really want to broaden my horizons as much as I could in this very short time I have with a digital slr....
... if it's not too much for you, sir, that is.

Why do you want a style? Just shoot what looks good to you. Eventually you'll realize that's your style.

that simple.
well, I guess time will make me, eh?
thanks for your advise, I'll visit that link.... *done* wow... part of it does take time... well, I'd better go off and find what I really like... (or stick to one of a lot of my likes

wonderful idea, reminds me of the "hanged Man" on a tarot pack.

The Hanged Man, is it not?
Well, it'd be a woman in this case but The Traitor /was/ originally Judas Escariot. ^_^
I'd have to agree with everyone else who's commented so far.

I just watched the movie the Ninth Gate the other day. So I recognised this: [link] Was this your inspiration? Interesting stuff.
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope, my inspiration was a combination of the tarot card (hanged man) posture and a similar photographic trick I saw another artist do where he has this model who appears to be balancing on a small object stuck from a wall but of course it was just rotated.

This is absolutly incredible. So, so beautiful, it's perfect, I love it!

Great shot, the eye is so easily fooled. Or is it that the mind wants to be fooled?
