Description

This was done for a project at school where we were challenged to take 'haptic' photographs. Haptic, or non-realistic. This was my attempt. I chose to do a self portrait. I realize it's blown out on my face, and there is also an awful large portion that is completely yellow. I really like that. Let me tell you how this was accomplished. I set the camera's shutter to bulb and held it down with my finger. All the lights in the room were turned off. A little light was leaking in from the hallway, that's the yellow you see. The blue light is from my iPod. I changed position twice and turned my iPod's light on twice to capture the different poses. No Photoshop work has been done to this image. This was taken with my digital Nikon D70s.
