Week # 2 Isolate Dominion

     On a random trip somewhere past Sierra Madre I stopped off by the shoulder of the road to find out where I was. Realizing that this was the best opportunity to take some really great photos, I shot away. The image shows the setting of the sun behind a darkened mountain with my subject at the not so very foreground (I'm afraid of heights). My distance away helped to capture the lengthened shadows created by the safety road block cement thing. I really enjoy the Los Angeles skyline in this image from afar.

     I would recreate this on a set flooded with cool blue gels on a cyclorama and a giant warm transparent gelled down light. I would make sure to use some top half hats to cut any unwanted dispersion of light in order to create those rich sharp shadows on the ground.

     Sky, Sun, Earth's Horizon, Mountain, Subject. The image gives me a feeling of isolation. The solitary emotion comes from the endless sky above a distant horizon of the earth. My subject alone, almost as if she is calmly absorbing every second of the landscape's natural beauty, portrays a kind of awe. Woman above the world of man, Hera by her own right.
