Hard to Resist the Flame

The kitchen lamp has been beckoning me to sit under it for really high contrast black and white photographs. Today I followed the call and got in it. I love the spotlight effect this light gives so much that you can be sure this won't be the last time I utilise it for self portraits.

Shot with the Fujifilm X100F, using my phone as the remote.

Thanks for inspiring me for trying something like that - not with myself as the model, of course. I'm talking about the black and white photos of something or someone much more interesting with a single light source like a lamp like that.

When one knows jack shit about lighting and doesn't care to study it and fiddle with multiple lights, finding one light source works the best :P Helps if you are a fan of noir-style lighting to begin with :P

Oh poor girl, you can't even afford proper chairs so you need to sit on the table!

Well to be honest, it would have made a terrible photoshoot if you'd just been sitting on the chair, back to the camera and smoking.

Or maybe you could have turned it too into a wonderful set of photos.

I know right!? I'm in dire need of proper chairs, but what can you do, not enough Steem moneys to buy chairs. I just need to make due with what I have, hard life.

Or just buy a pillow. Then even with a poor, hard chair you'd be able to have a soft life instead.

Chairs? Who needs those? Look at Japanese, they sit and eat on the floor. Furthermore, ain't there any use with chairs if there's nothing to eat then :P

I already did that for the first months I lived here, no table, no chairs 😂

The sensation I feel from the last image is ominous, goosebumps from a cold breeze.

Are you saying I look like a cold bitch? :P

Hardly, your Highness. I picture an ice queen.

So good, well done. I am a huge fan of the limited yellow light source coming from top to bottom. Especially street lamps give that mysterious effect I love the most.

I wish I had the balls to go with my tripod outside and take self portraits under the streetlamps when it snows.

Great light and dark .I was going to ask you how you get your photos, if you have someone shoot them for you, but now I see you do use a remote, so smart.

You didn’t know my portraits are always shot by myself? 😅 I wish I had an Instagram boyfriend trailing me with a camera but no such luck 😂

Beautiful shots, I'm cringing at how poorly Steemit compressed them. It's criminal! :p

I hate it too. But I'll let you in on a little secret, my Whaleshares.io profile has pictures from the same set and they are in their original quality ;)
