My technical skills have increased a fair bit since I created the first image “Just a Hand” that I posted here on RB some time ago. I thought it might be interesting to see what I could make of the concept now, with the better equipment and skills that I (hopefully) have. The actual image of the hand here is a new shot, using a much better lens and more selective lighting. The textures though are the same ones I used before, though I have blended them differently to attempt to make use of more compositional techniques that I was not aware of when I made the original. There is a link to the original below – I would be most interested in anyone’s opinions re the relative value and interest of each version…

Dark Cabaret is precisely what the name suggests and more. From vaudevillian, burlesque, sideshow carnivale to the dark wave, neogothic, new york punk gutter, there is beauty in peripheral corners of society. Urban decay, decadent failure, we are societies step-children mourning for father and looking for mother.
Has your work been rejected for being too dark, risque or pessimistic?
Bring it on!
