Amber in the Basement & Car Photo

[Sean Setters]

Thanks guys. You know, I was quite surprised at the amount of views that picture of Amber in the basement has received on Flickr. It's not one of my normal, bright, sun-shiny pictures. I'm not sure it's the kind of portrait that people pay for, but it's a nice look to have in the bag of tricks. I like the starkness and contrast in cool/warm tones as well as the apparant isolation of the subject.


The car picture turned out much better than I had anticipated. The owner has put about 2 years of work into the car, and it really shows. I think the car has more coats of paint than I have fingers and toes. right now it's on the market for $60,000 USD. Let me know if you want to have it shipped down under, Scott. ;-)

Cheers Sean I'll keep an eye out for it, (cheques' in the mail) don't know how it will go on the dirt roads and cattle grids but I'm sure we can do something. (might have to get a bull bar for it too, lots of roos out here)[:P] Love your work

I think that picture of Amber is one of your better shots. There's a lot of implied context, and a lot of questions. Mildly disturbing, but intriguing. It whispers the question, "What's going on here?"


Like the car picture. How did you arrive at that lighting arrangement?

Actually, I talked to my friend who does alot of automobile shoots. He guided me as to the basic setup he uses, and I tweaked from there.
