Note: Porkchop is the name of the reindeer.
Part 1: In this image I wanted to use the slow shutter speed to create a double image of the subject, in a ghostlike manner, thus responding to the prompt of “doppelganger”. Setting the camera on the ground and extremely slowing the shutter speed I just moved the stuffed animal to try and get the affect I desired. I used the strong lighting to further enhance the feeling of insubstantiality. Originally I was just shooting with the hopes of coming across a quality image in terms of composition, and I was happy to create this one. The main figure stands looking (almost in surprise I like to think) at the other, who is just peaking into the frame. The idea was inspired by a friend of mine. We did a photoshoot using the slow shutter speed to create ghost like figures and I thought the idea would translate well to making a doppelganger.
Part 2: This image was received well, and I think it accomplishes what I intended. There was one comment that it may be overexposed, but it was retracted. It was agreed that the light helps the feel of the image. I think this image could lead to a series of fun doppelganger type images, using ordinary things and giving them a sort of life through two images of them.
