I had a lot of fun making these and similar shots. It was my first attempt at painting with light and playing with long exposures in the dark. I took many attempts both before and after this shot and this was mine and my mothers favorite.
The color was originally blue as I used a blue LED flashlight as my light source however I wanted to contrast the different moods by color so I adjusted them in Photoshop.
As I have shared before, I deal with bipolar-disorder on a daily basis, which causes a random mix of feelings both happy and sad. It was not my attempt to portray this when making this photo however I believe the relationship is clear in hindsight.
I know DPC has a "thing" for sharp bright colorful images but well, I don't, so we'll see how this does.
