It is a school project that was born in photography class while learning how to make sets at home, the end result should be professional but without spending too much on expensive materials, only making good use of a professional camera (or semi-professional) and through specific techniques. That was when some friends and I played the theme of light painting, scope and level of impact, our task was to make a catalog of perfumes for implementing sets, and the technique to realize it was free.
I started coming home with the preparations, I darkened a room, I placed a piece of black vinyl on a table, asked for help from one of my brothers and I shot a few times. The initial idea was to illuminate the perfume front for a few seconds and play with the light of a small lamp and-blocked with your finger to change its color while the camera remained in bulb. I liked the result, but my instinct wanted more than just lost lines around the container.
About half an hour later the idea came, my birthday had been a day before and a friend had covered my bed with balloons of different colors, so there were still a few balloons around, had been somewhat neglected and my mother wanted to tidy my room, when I saw the balloons they lit eyes, balloons definitely be part of my project.
Only a few tests were enough lighting and "Playing with balloons" for a few minutes so that the idea was complete.
I turned off the light, I used a lamp to illuminate the packages from behind, thus would be felt only the contours, metal finishing and color of the liquid; a dive light for the front define the product and look its best angle.
The balloons were used as filters for the light, so we could better harmonize and contrasting colors. First served only as background and then they moved the light along with the globe to create a more interesting effect.
Near the end of the catalog came a question Can we move the main subject? There was very little battery but eager to continue having fun.
This experiment was the one who gave final shape to the first pages of the project. The liquid seemed electrified and also managed to leave the vessel,
¡ It was ALIVE !
