    I'm not really sure what the experiment is. Could you please explain a little about this one please? I do like the photo though.

    Basically I used a torch and brought some cellophane, I made a circle the size of the torch and stuck the circle of cellophane onto black cardboard, which had a circle cut into so that you could see the cellophane through the black cardboard. Then I opened the shutter for about 20-25". I then used the torch with the cellophane over it to 'paint' in Jen with the blue colour. It was late at night when I did this, which is why the background is really dark.

    Yea I have never done it before, I got it explained to me in a course I'm doing at the moment and wanted to try it. So I asked my friend Jen to be my model one night so I could experiment with it. Worked well on her with the blue.

    It's an interesting experimental portrait imo, not very flattering, but definitely interesting and has a creepy feel. Not boring, that's for sure. I like it!
