Hi Marmoset

Thank you for your very considerate thoughts.

In order to respond to your comments, I thought uploading this image would best illustrate my thoughts, and so I'll upload this and respond to you in a new post.

My belief is that there's complexity on many levels and not just in regard to the numbers of things you have in a shot. You can include a great number of objects in a shot, and it can complicate matters, or the execution can turn out to be very simple. Having just one object as subject matter in a shot can be very complicated.

Many of the images that I've uploaded here were very complex, in regards to lighting, exposure, concept, and so forth.

To see something of great complexity executed to where it conveys the illusion of simplicity in a shot is something that inspires me in seeing the work of others.

The shot I've uploaded here I've called 'Vicara', it's a reference to meditation, and focus, and seeing 'through to the truth'. It involved using a fog machine to create a 'mist' and 5 separate strobe lights illuminating this subject matter.

There are two lights iluminate the sides of her face from the rear, a separate light illuminating her frontally, and a separate light illuminating each of her hands. Her pose was my idea of suggesting that she could focus/mediatate in such a way as to see through her garment which has no openings for her eyes.

This was one of the most complicated shots I've ever attempted. I feel good about it, a number of other people have expressed a liking for the shot, but you of course must decide for yourself your opinion of it.

My ultimate point in all of this is that I come up with an idea, regardless of whether it involves great numbers or singular subject matter and then try my best to execute that shot.

If it's a wild idea, that involves a great ammount of risktaking, so be it, but with me the idea comes first and then whatever complexity or simplicity that's involved in the excecution of the shot comes later.

I don't really think of the simplicity or cdomplexity first, I think of the idea first when thinking about shooting something.

Take care Marmoset.
