I think I might have to put a tutorial for this one!! :-)
BULB exposure.... multiple flashes...complicated setup.... lots of patience.... and a bit of luck with the allowed filters. ;-)
I never would've done this in my small 1 bedroom apt. Luckly I was spending the weekend in Montreal in my friend's loft and took advantage of his studio and Nikon D1X as well as his personal expertise. :-) We worked 4 hours on this shot! In my opinion this is one of the best shots I've done up to now on DPC!

This is an ingeneous idea and I really like the way you've done it. It took me a little while to figure out how exactly you did it, but I think I know now. (Or at least I know how I'd do it!)
Of course, this pic meets the challenge very well. Techinically it's outstanding, however I have two main gripes. One, the emotions do seem very forced. Two, on the picture on the right I don't like the intensity of the light. Other than that this is perfect.
you must have about 300 "how did you do this" comments from now.. so, what is one more? lol. I will wait until the end to see.
as for the images.. they look antique, yet modern so it is a paradox. I might have ordered the images differently.. serious first, looking over shoulder center, then laughing last. The one looking over the shoulder leads my eye out of the triptych whereas another arrangement might keep my eye in the overall image. Just a suggestion.
That's pretty cool. How did you do this? Says "with multiple flashes" but how did you get the pictures side-by-side like that? The individual pics aren't high quality but it's still a great effect!
Veryyyyyyyyyy very good. I like this idea a lot. The focus on the last shot is a bit soft and maybe the light could of been changed. I do know I like this. Congrats to ya. Good Luck !
well first off I'll say that a triptych on a single exposure with this level of clarity and precision is highly impressive. However, all three of these frames seem somehow forced or unnatural. So you get big points for innovation, but not many for impact and effectiveness. 6
I"m not entirely sure I believe this was done with multiple flashes... what are those little corner things doing there? and what's with the white edges? I'd sure like to know how you achieved this effect if indeed it was done legally. With that said, I like the expressions but I'm not crazy about the sepia. If you were going to use b/w or sepia in this case, I would have chosen a different tone of shirt to help it stand out more. The lighting is very nice though
This is awesome work! Can't wait to see how this was done. 3 excellent portraits. Very creative. Good luck with the challenge! This is my pick for winner in this challenge.
See how this photograph was created!
