Sharing thoughts on music, film, and photo shoots.
Randy wanted a set of photos to reflect his off-stage personality. Since he loves to fish we chose Lake Hiawatha in Minneapolis for its scenic shoreline. I used my iPhone app The Photographer’s Ephemeris to get the data I needed on sunrise time and direction. We left for the lake at 7am to get set up in time for a 7:24am sunrise. The light was beautiful and I got this shot right off the bat.

First I photographed the puppet as a standard portrait:
Then I wrapped it in black fabric and startled it with a spotlight pointing up towards the face!
I took this image and used Photoshop to paint around the face and hands with black. Then I used the perspective tool (Edit – Transform – Perspective) to distort the proportions. Finally, I used Curves to saturate the colors.
