Week One

Here is my contribution for week one of Todd and I's "Area 53" photo project. There will be 53 Photos in total by the end of the year, a photo a week for the whole year, plus the bonus one. There may be some other "bonus" photos along the way too. I'm certain to have more than just one photo to post some weeks.


I shot this photo last night on a table in my bedroom. I used black bristol board for the background and shot 3 different photos of the same candle. I used a flash overhead with a snoot and a different color gel for each position. Then I brought the 3 photos into photoshop and stacked them together. I didn't alter the position of the candles in photoshop, I actually shot them where I wanted them to be in the frame.
