Chiaroscuro

In this photograph, I used the candle light as might key light. To lighten up the subject a bit more, I used a filler light to the right of the subject, slightly dimmed. I used Michelle as my model, and I replaced the skull in the painting, to a chopped off foot in the photo. I also used a candle, a gun, a cross, and books as props for my photograph. 



My inspiration is a painting by Georges de la Tour called Repenting Magdalene.
