Day 12: Disappearing Act

Word of the day: Camouflage

Had to create something that "disappeared into the background". I decided I needed to do something that had me up against a background and blending as much as possible (i was thinking stripes, but it wasn't working like i wanted it to).

So then i started playing with my off camera flash techniques. I first thought of doing a double exposure, but it was too far off from the concept and just wasn't doing what i wanted. So then i held the  flash at a 90* angle from the lens and looked straight into the lens like so:

but then it was too bright and too much face. So i dialed the aperture down (let less light in) and i held the flash as far behind my head as i could, and looked to my left and got this result:

I liked the look of my face coming out of the shadows (hitchcock?) and decided i nailed the camouflage of disappearing into the background, no?
