Homoeroticism For Beginners



And here's my effort. Basically we were in a dark hallway in my flat using a single strobe with a snoot on it triggered off camera wirelessly. 10 second exposure set and then point and flash twice with the subject in one place then the other. In other words, 'painting with light' as Ian said.
I've tried a couple of presentations. One as is with a bit of contrast and desaturation. The other I messed about with a bit. It's two layers of the image, one cold and one warm. Then use masking to keep warm skin tones against a cold wall. A bit of enhanced merging of the limbs using the liquify tool (but really not much), then a bit selective focus using Gausian blur.
Easy enough technique but could be used to great effect with a bit of choreography and a more interesting location.
Nuff said. Barker.

  1. Interesting, I would like to see this used on a female nude in the woods at night, would really look out of this world! Strange effect.
