The theme for this week's photo is "Forced Perspective." Interestingly enough, it was both a fun and difficult experience to shoot this concept. Naturally, I did some research for inspiration. There was a quite a few great ideas. However, I wanted to retry the 'girl with the floral skirt' concept again. 

       Earlier this week, I bought a rose, a pink fuzzy flower and a stock of lilies. I asked my sister to volunteer as the subject and I strung colored lights against a black backdrop. I really wanted to shoot outdoors, but didn't get the chance with the all the rain we've been having. Because we shot in the evening, the lighting was difficult to master. Eventually I turned up my flash and found myself crouching in the weirdest of positions to get the flower at the right angle. Here's what I got after 100+ photos. 

       It's not exactly what I had pictured in mind, but it's pretty close. I wanted the subject to be a bit more focused and the flower to be more like a skirt. But it was so difficult! The slightest twitch had the lens struggling to focus because there was so much going on in the background with the lights. Ah well, here's some other takes with the rose and the pink fuzzy flower.
