Robert Nease “Blue Man” 12/02/20

It was a cold night in an old garage built in the 1930’s which became my first studio. I had recently put sheets of drywall on one of the walls to be used for a clean background and for the purpose of using it to bounce light off of it. It was to be painted the next day. That evening working on a lighting test, I wanted a spot effect to the light. As the saying goes “necessity being the mother of invention..” Needing a direct narrow light, I fabricated a snoot from a piece of poster board held together by gaffers tape. This became the devise used on a single light source. “Can you feel the light..?” I asked while looking through the viewfinder. Click. I enjoyed the dramatic fall off of the light. It was the look I had wanted. This is a visual from the memory and a depiction of that evening of experimentation.

We are all in a blue mood these days and this timely shot encapsulates it.

Looks Gruesome Newsom trying to hold back reality!

Good choice of color. Just be careful that you don’t use tungsten (aka hot lights) or you will start a fire.

Perceived reality can often take weird and wicked turns…..
