Hand Balancing

[Foga]

Hi all, this is the outcome of my last project, I have a few friends that are performers and were willing to do their act for the camera.

If you'd like to know about the process, lighting, and post processing, there's detailed info on my blog

Thanks for looking!

Welcome to the forums and hope you continue to share.
This is quite dramatic. I'd like to see just a touch more exposure and maybe some angled shots.

Edit: I'd like to see some angles shots because this one is so good and it just makes me curious what else you can do.

Nicely lit, but I find the lack of light on his head disturbing.
Balancing with a headless body just doesn't look right !

maybe some angled shots.

i feel the opposite, i'd rather have even less of an angle since the balancing is really just on one plane

Never mind the lighting - those arms are thicker than both my legs put together :lol:

She could have worn tights without holes in

I love the photo and not having the head made me chuckle. The lighting is terrific and the touch of red colour adds to the effect.

What is the reflective surface their on?

Could be plexiglass

I like this shot a lot, very well executed.
