I had this idea for several days but couldn't go to the place where I wanted to do the shot, so I just stood in front of a bathroom door. I used one of my husband's white dress shirts, with the collar turned in, buttoned and then slipped over my head backwards. I kept my hands inside the sleeves. I put a belt up around my chest to create the buckles that were really used. I set the 10 second timer and voila.

This is terrific. It has great lighting and composition, and the post processing is jagged-edged (i.e. just right). Maybe the most instructive thing is how much more convincing it is to not show the face, rather than to do the conventional thing and try to simulate a suitably manic and tortured facial expression. It's a fact well understood by exotic dancers; what you don't reveal can be much more stimulating and memorable than what you do expose.
I like this photo very much, and I'd no doubt like the movie, too. 9.
my first impulse is that I'd like at least a hint of a face, but what the hell, I'm game for a daring indie movie that might be more psychologicall than physically violent. Good job. This poster is more exciting and raises more questions than most indie films.
very good...what I am looking for in this challenge is for a creative 'wow' shot that would go on a movie poster. I think that's what the challenge is all about...this one does well
