Leave it to my son, Parker, to come up to me the other day begging, “Come on, Dad, let’s go take some pictures in the [studio]. Please!”
“Well, what do you want to do?” I asked.
“I want to be scary. Come on!”
So he puts on his wizard costume, a cape and some of his mother’s black tights (“Aren’t tights for girls?” “Not exactly…”) and practically drags me downstairs. I still had things set up from my last shoot, so I just threw a gel in front of the light and we started shooting.
I must admit Parker’s idea of scary is really more along the lines of mysterious, but we did manage to get some interesting images. The green gel with the gridded strobe in particular really gave the images a creepy feel, even before I added the texture. See for yourself!
