The Dark side

No, this is not inspired by Resident Evil, no, this is just a try to visualize the Dark Side, the other side beyond beauty. It is easy to do, just a massive desaturation of the skin, darken eyes, background, adding a new color styled layer, blending this and that. You can do an Internet search on “Dark Art” to find a DIY instruction as well or on Youtube. There a quite a lot of videos on that theme. Try it. Its fun. But be warned: Your model may take the stick and beat you for what you are doing. So ask her first !

Selfmade accessories, how do they work ? Are they accepted by the models, do they fit into scene ? How to place them ? A lot of questions…. You have to test that BEFORE shooting. Arrange a quick scenario, name it “Testshoot” be honest. It may have ugly outcome. Whatsoever YOU can learn on that stuff a lot. I tried it too and added a flash light with a snoot to set a spot of light on her face, enhancing the visual effect.

Where is your guardian angel ? Where is it, when the evil is knocking at your window, trying to enter your home, your mind ? Hopefully your guardian angel is just around the corner chasing away such evil things …
