Painting with Light

Our group went out to Stephens Lake Park and made a photo illustration with the sculptures on the hill at the park. We went for a ghostly and mysterious angle when lighting the scene. We popped a flash with a red gel on it on each of the sculptures and had Lori shine a flashlight on her face at the center of the frame, and then walk over behind two of the pillars and shine the flashlight on her face again. We also had me behind Lori in the center holding candles and had Jon shine a flashlight on my hands to show the hands holding the candles but keep me out of the frame.

The mysterious sculptures located on a hill at Stephens Lake Park are the result of a ceramics art project that has become a staple of the park. Many local residents are often confused by its presence at first glance and theorize that it may be a meeting spot for cults, while others assume its only purpose is to serve as an authentic decoration.

And here's a very general lighting diagram of how we did it
