Title: Patrick - Reflection

Desc: I wanted to experiment with reflection. Patrick and I, along with another model, built a shallow pool in the studio and filled it with about 1 to 2 inches of water. The pool had a base of black plastic and I used a black backdrop for dramatic effect. I had Patrick lie down in the water with his head resting on one hand and then place his other hand in front in the water. I shot from a low angle in order to capture the reflection as you see in the image. As with many of my paintings and photographs, the lighting is very important. I attempt to sculpt with light to emphasize the underlying musculature of the figure, attempting to capture as many highlights, midtones, and shadows as possible to emphasize the form.
