Somebody screammmmm Part 2

As promised here is another image of the Scream mask.
With this image, I opted for using my smoke machine to create a more dramatic effect, as well as the shooting angle.

Foolishly I decided to blog about a Halloween image I took a year ago :-s
Of course this started to put pressure on posting a 2010 Halloween image. Well last minute efforts last night failed as inspiration was far and few between.
This morning I thought, no way am I going to fail. I started plotting and planning my next move and here is the result.
I used my old faithful Scream mask, and I cut some holes through the mouth region and the eye and nose. Then I placed a 500W Bowen’s mono block behind it and fired. The results, a light leak as the mask is white :-s
I used a black gaffer to seal the whole mask, except for the eyes, mouth and nose areas. Then I taped a big black bag to the back of the mask and placed the Bowens light from the back through a hole.
I took more images thereafter, using my smoke machine, to let smoke pass through the eyes and mouth, but that did not go down to well. I Might include a version of that as well.
Thanks for reading and happy Halloween and safe trick or treating!!

This is the first image from the "I am a DJ" concept shoot from the 02/10/10. The concept came courtesy from my friend/assistant/fellow photographer Herschel.
We had the chance to work with the lovely Sofia Skvortsova. Her Modelling portfolio can be found on Model Mayhem and her number is MM#853972. Check it out.
For this shoot we used a few elements including turntables, mixer, record covers, mirror ball, lazer light, smoke machine, record cases, speakers, etc and this is not to mention the photography equipment and lighting to make this shoot possible.

Watch this space for any pictures from this shoot and any other shoots in the future.
