More Fun From the Getty

If you want to know how I felt shooting these pictures, look at #2. That best describes it. The idea of this concept came about when I walked into the first building over at the Getty Center and saw the statues. I was very intrigued by how the shadows looked and how very different they were from the actual pose of the statue. I never really stopped to look at that before. I always looked at what was in front of me, not what was in front of me and then behind that.

What do you guys see in the shapes below?






























Well, thanks for stopping by for my last of the Getty Center series. I'll be having a super duper Christmas edition probably on Sunday. Have a safe weekend, and don't get too irritated out there shopping.

Merry Christmas!!! :D

Interesting ideas for the shoot, too. The second one was a little creepy to me... It looked kinda like a dancing devil or something, but then I realized that you were prolly taking photos of the shadows of a Christmas exhibit...!! lol~~ @n@

Merry Christmas to you, dude.

That one was great. It was posed in an awesome way where the shadow looked like the devil, but the statue wasn't. It was a weird nekkid dude.
Neat idea for the shoot. I will have to say the second one is my favorite. I still very much enjoyed the shadows/stair shot from your last set.
I might use your shadow idea while I am in Tahoe this coming week. See if the contrast between white and shadows works for me.

Good luck, and I hope you found somebody to watch your doggies so you could go on the trip. :-)
This collection of photos reminds me of
Kumi Yamashita. Sometimes it's all about the shadows that people seem to hardly notice.

Thanks for posting the link. I think I had seen something similar a couple of years ago. Shadows seem to be relatively ignored. I know I did until I shot these.
