Saint Rose of Lima, Rochester, MA




I enjoy shooting statues that have interesting positions. This Statue (B&W at bottom) is no more than 3 feet tall, and this angle makes the viewer think that it could be a life like statue. I didn't really notice how much the angle changed this shot until I opened it up on my macbook. I made it black and white because I wanted the viewer to focus on the angle of the shot.
The shots of the flowers with the statue behind are a couple of my favorites from this shoot. I usually do not use my flash to prevent distortion of the subject matter, which I think ruins the shot. But the I used the flash for about 20 different shots on the flower to get the veins of the flower to show in the image.
The photograph of the sign at the very top is another thing I like to do. I really like to angle my shots because sometimes you can distort the image in a good way. Angle can elongate or widen most inadament objects. This was a super fun shoot in which I took over 200 shots.
