Greek Myth Shoot

Our large assignment for the week was to research a Greek myth and either modernize it, give it a twist, or represent it as it is seen in history. Having learned about a few myths in my philosophy class, and being in wine country, I thought that it was only fair to reincarnate the god, Dionysus and his portrayal of wine. My beautiful model and good sport was Kristi. She did anything and everything that I asked of her, including smoking a cigar, renting four-wheelers, and sitting in piles of garbage. I chose to represent Dionysus in the female form, showing the dark side of wine, and including and portraying a following of people who want to be just like her.

Reading Note Option 1

I chose this picture for week three reading note because I shot at night and obviously with low light. I had use a tripod in order to capture this image and expose it correctly. At first I tried to capture it without a tripod and it left the image very blurry and not recognizable. The contrast between the black of the background and the bright in the foreground really make the image pop and create a unique composition.
