Perhaps I need to go outside my creative realm, but I felt that doing a project on chairs would set a limit that would then somehow enhance my creativity. I mean really... chairs? It all sounds rather boring. Fortunately, however, I aim to bring the personality out of the chairs by using stereotypes, juxtapositions, and sheer sagacity.
Shot #1: Dentist Chair
Taken Friday, 3/12 at 12:00am.
I wanted to convey the fear that is felt when one sits in this chair and hears the dentist turn on the drill. That was the plan... unfortunately, my husband, Jeff, and I had a hard time getting it done. Jeff's dad is a dentist, so getting into the office at that hour wasn't a problem, the problem was that I didn't get pocket wizards when I checked out the lights and we couldn't get the second light to fire from the slave. Needless to say, it was a rather frustrating hour filled with mild expletives, standing on swivel chairs, and using a mirror to try and reflect light back on the slave.
Here is an unfinished prototype of what the shot might look like.
