Tim Burton photographed in a hotel room in Santa Monica.
Didn\'t have a sync cord for some reason so had to place the camera under some Starbucks lids and leave the exposure open for 1 second whilst manually triggering a flash in front of a 50c plastic pumpkin with the self timer - I have no idea what he must have thought!

Outstanding! One of my favorite directors looking like the madman that he is. Very creative with the pumpkin. How did you manage to convince him to do this??
What a wonderful image! I'm sure he was thinking, "Hey that's pretty creative." You've completely captured the personality of this amazing artist. Great job and into my favs!
Thanks for all the comments guys - I thought it might do a little better but you never know and it's one persons taste against another. Till next time.
Thanks

Somehow I think you'd have a difficult time make him think twice about anything you did. His is one of the more unique brains you're likely to encounter, and I think you represented that perfectly. I'd like to say i'm surprised that this finished down here, but I'm not. I'm mostly just disappointed. If you had a studio and the right gear, top ten fo sho.
It's come down to this... kidnapping celebs tsk tsk ;) j/k
Really nice lighting here. I like the pumpkin face shadow to the right of him but the shadow on the left looks out of place. Maybe a shadow of Edward Scissor Hand's hand?
great portrait. you captured so much of his style, his mood, yet the picture seems so intimate. I feel like I am getting a great opportunity to get close to a very guarded person. I'll start this at 8
No fair! Tim keeps turning down my requests to photograph him. ;-) You really made the most of this shot and came up with a great concept that you executed nicely. Very cool shot!
WOW - this is a great portrait. I like the vertical stripes of his shirt vs. the horizontal/diagonal shadowed ones. Nicely done. Oh geez, it's a jack-o-lantern! Bumping up.
