I CAN DUMP MY GIRLFRIEND CAUSE SHE'S LIKE A WHORE, RIGHT GUYS? RIGHT???
I didn't see this posted.



Apparently, you can get an original print for $900.

He says he did all that in-camera, but... gently caress. How? The only thing I can think of is a shitload of lighting so that he could get the sky like that.

Also, to beat a dead horse, I wish I were as lucky (unlucky?) as the guy who took this:

Or he used film?

Yeah. That photo is at least 27 years old.
From the album cover of "A Broken Frame", which came out in 1982.

I am not surprised that he used film, but I don't think that is significant: that photo's main characteristics suggest to me a big lighting rig.

I get ya. I think my main thing was that it seems like a modern photograph, even though it's almost 30 years old.

And, thinking about it, he most definitely used a big lighting rig.

So, technically, I understand the photo. But I still think it's a badass picture. It seems like it mixes the usable parts of HDR tomfoolery with traditional portraiture and then a little bit of "something else".

But maybe I'm too stuck in the 80s.
