Radiohead Tim

2.29.2012

This is a photo of Tim with an old radio as his head. The radio is up close while he is semi close to the camera.
The radio and body were taken intentionally in focus in order to make it seem like the radio was realistically his head. The background is out of focus to highlight the subject. I had a friend hold the radio close to the camera while Tim was a bit farther back from the camera. I cropped the picture a bit so you cannot see the object holder's hand and arm. I also darkened the image and manipulated the color balance so that there is more green and yellow in the picture. I also sharpened the image so the person stuck out more.
The picture was taken outdoors in the back of the school away from buildings and other distractions. The lighting is pretty neutral to give it a more natural look.
Overall, the picture was a success because I was able to take the shot in about a minute and got my final shot after two or three times shooting. It came out pretty nice and natural as I had imagined it to be.
