Hollywood the Cracked

AlTheKiller

Pick a number
Wait in line
There's no medicine to fix that mind
Hollywood Hollywood
Fucking a loaded gun
Message panicked
A naked waste
There's no help to give this one to keep her sane
Hollywood Hollywood
Watch out here she comes
She's a few cards short of a full deck, a Joker in the game
She's got a bullet with your name on it, no doubt she's a mental case
Better keep that girl away
Poor Hollywood
She is bad goods
Poor Hollywood, this may be the last time I say
She is cracked goods
She's cracked and when she's gone there is no coming back
Watch her fingers she's gonna pull that trigger
Then the bodies will run

:dunno

would have been nice to have a darker back drop and a hair light but oh well.

Is it really not all that interesting?

You asked so...

The concept is interest. The execution, not so much. You're going for a low key image but it's underexposed. The parts of the face that are lit should properly exposed. The gun is difficult to see because it's mostly in shadow. Focus is soft on the eye. I would have shot this against a black BG, with just enough rim light to separate her hair from it. And I would have lit it from the opposite side of the gun. That way, the gun gets lit, kind of light her left hand and the hand holding it is more in shadow.

Thank you very much appreciated. I'll have to ad this to my Re-Do list.

With having a single light, how could I go about getting her to seperate from the back ground? Or am I just out of luck till I have a second light?

Jeeze. The pistol didn't even register 'till I read Cuban's comment. Yeah. Underexposed. And there's always McGyvers you can do to get light where you need it.

You can use a reflector behind her to try to direct some rim light on to her hair.

AlTheKiller

Thank you. I'll give it a try tonight and see how it works.

Look at your catchlight in her eye, it is about 7 o'clock. Raise the light to about 10 of 11 and see if you like it better. Agreed with the comments.
