The Offering

The Offering

This shot was a basic idea, using my mother’s hand, a string of rosary like Islamic prayer beads called a Tasbeeh and a flashlight. The elements though simple the trick was the angles. Angle both the light and camera in such a way that the image was clear and not blurry, the contours less vague and mainting the slenderness of the hand. Shadows often have a way of becoming subdudded in a photograph if the light is not strong enough, but too strong a light could make the picture apear washed out. Hence, the aperture was kept small and the shutter speed slow. After a few experimental shots a balance was found and The Offering was the result of just that.
