One Great Image

One great image. It was more difficult than it sounded. There were many hundreds of pictures taken before deciding on this one. I think that it shows the product, the context and the mood quite nicely. The subtle editing done to it gives it a more dramatic feel and was needed to enhance the light coming out of 夜間night*. The subdued colours and darker tones give the impression that it is during the night. And the irritated look on the subjects face emphasises the fact that 夜間night* has woken them up.

It was difficult to get the right look for the picture. I could have very easily fallen into the trap of it being an ordinary product shot, or having no action in it. The huge exposure differences constantly played havoc with the pictures being taken. The dark background was undefined against the overexposed light prism. In this case, a compromise was indeed taken by increasing the ambient light, and I think that it adds to it.
