About Originally from Russia, these nesting dolls are now available everywhere. They can be painted to represent many different themes such as peasant girls and fairy tale characters.
This was shot using window light as the source, and the back ground manipulated in PSP XI to emphasize the shadows.

In terms of perpective and geometry indeed a BIP, Dave! You constracted a coordinates system with photography means, and this is very remarkable. I find the reflections on the dolls a bit less interesting here - a more matte appearence would do it better for me.

BTW, did you use any light source for getting the long shadows? The image wouldn't be half as interesting without them.

Very nice work, keep it up!

I love the effect you have captured with these shadows, beautifully taken to show off both the wonderful details on the dolls, and the abstractness of the shadows. Alison

I was suggesting 'lighting it directly from the right'.

  0


Adnan Qureshi   {K:498} 3/22/2007
Excellent composition and perspective. I like the contrast and lighting. Great job... One suggestion... if you had used directly from the right, the shadows would appear more horizontal. Do try that. I don't have these babushka dolls to experiment.
Cheers...
