Mannequin Test Shoot

Today I was out and about early photographing with my 35mm at the market when I found a full length Mannequin. Carrying a mannequin through town raises quite a few eyebrows. I then spoke to Adam to announce my find. We had the studio booked for 4pm so this was perfect timing. In the studio we use a Dedo Light Kit with different filter sheets.

The filter sheets we used were: RED/GREEN

RED

RED/PURPLE

BLUE - Which I think would work better with a darker lip colour

YELLOW

And the actual lighting without a filter.

I used a shutter speed of 1/25 and 1/15 with an apeture of 4.5.

I think it is very scary how real the mannequin looks. But I think this is a good thing as I would want her to look like a doll as this has been done so many times before. I like the idea of an illusion. To make people take a second look.
