Each year I challenge myself with a couple of personal projects to help keep my eyes and brain thinking. Weddings are a blast but sometimes they can be a little slow and this is what keeps me going. One of my projects this year is abstraction.

I really like creating these types of images and my clients are digging them as well.

• The image below is a portrait of the groom. A strobe with a snoot was used to create this image.



• The below image was created with one White Lightning placed on the floor at 3/4 power. The shadows on the ceiling are the results of the harsh light casting the dancing shadows upward.



• This is a time exposure with a strobe hitting the groom and his groomsmen individually.



I know OSP has some cool images to share. Let's see em!

nice dude!

I like how the symmetry pulls you into the weirdness in the first one. And I love the Twin Peaks feel of the second.

A couple from me...








Keep it going, people. Let's see your really WEIRD and wonderful stuff!

Oooh these are awesome.. I love it.

Shane, that first one is kind of spooky...me like.
Dude that third one makes me want to look at it over over again.

I like this weird stuff. Anyone else?

bump...

nobody does abstract stuff???? c'mon.

My contribution

Love it, Matt... here's an abstract portrait:

Wow, can I say that that dancing shadows one is one of my all time favorite images I've ever seen! It reminds me of that song "Once Upon a December" from that Disney movie Anastasia. So fanciful!

I love this kind of stuff.

I'm loving this thread. great stuff, guys. If only I could shoot this stuff 100% of the time . . . .
