    Re: hip hop

    lol, Seb, really good. I like it alot. the only thing i would suggest is to place the Hip Hop dude at the bottom frame to the right side of the frame by flipping the image. Or just flip the middle one so he is at the right looking towards the left.This was he is not directly under the one in the middle frame, making the tryptich look kinda crunched down there.
    I like this idea alot. good work

    Thanks Gary, considering your suggestion, I thought that flipping the bottom one lead to the best result. Does this look any better?

    Re: hip hop

    Thanks everyone!

    The setup is rather simple. The action took place over a 100% white kitchen countertop with all the lights in the room on plus two additional lamps (incandescent ligthing) directly pointed at the said surface. Then I shot the various frames without a flash but with an overexposure of 1 stop. A little post-processing work and that's it. My first idea was to find a background for this but I couldn't find anything suitable so the "all white" empty background simplify things...

    Great Seb, it looks better balanced and even gives the character a feel of moving around more because of the seperation. I like it. Good job on the simple, yet innovative set up.

    This series has never failed to bring a smile. In this thread, I agree the second is the better balanced shot. These are great!!
