This week's challenge is "Scene from a Movie". It's less about recreating an actual movie scene and more about using colors and color grading to create that cinematic effect.
The problem for me is that I usually shoot nude boys in front of black backgrounds.
Not. Very. Cinematic.
So this week I'm going to have to stop out of my comfort zone, which is literally my condo which I never leave, and get out into the world looking for cinema-worthy scenes to snap up.
I actually don't know whether it's anxiety or sloth that keeps me from doing this more often.
I generally have a good time when I do it; but I so rarely do it.
It's so much easier to have boys "delivered" to my doorstep and shoot them here, you know?
I did have an idea inspired by Temu, that awful Chinese online shopping site. They had "face hugger" masks, and I thought I could recreate a scene from Alien with a naked boy being killed by a Xenomorph baby.
Sterile white lighting, a white background, and a table draped with white cloth as a set.
Who's ready to shoot?
