Strength. That’s what I call my latest self portrait. While I had some downtime and thoughts running through my head, I wondered what could I do to really create a unique image of myself.<\/p>\n

Water filled my head as the ideas ran through an already busy mind. All I could think about was water! OK, so that was the first part. I knew I wanted to create a portrait in or around water, but what other ingredients did I need to create my portrait as <\/em>had envisioned it? I would need the perfect lighting recipe and the perfect time of day.<\/p>\n

As I drove around a couple of water spots, I was able to find the perfect location! I was armed with 3 lights – the sun and the two lights I brought along with me. It was late in the evening – around 8:05 or so when I found a suitable location and was ready to shoot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I forgot to mention that along with the perfect location and lighting recipe, I would also need the perfect outfit! Well I brought 2 with me so hopefully I was prepared.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, I decided to go extremely<\/em> simple with clothing and lighting. I only used 2 lights – the sun and 1 that I brought with me and my underclothes. LOL!!<\/p>\n

I began shooting and when I got home, I was truly amazed at the results. With very little computer work(with the exception of the glowing light in my hand), I was able to capture just what I was after.<\/p>\n

Here’s the finished image<\/p>\n
