Self portrait photography during helpless moment

24 Jul 2023 Zhuhai, China 

A long day… since the web hosting provider got hacked. And they need to doing a full system restore and fix. I do use the waiting time for more lighting test. I know the orange is not ideal for portrait photography, but let it be…

As the hours stretched on and the photographer found themselves engulfed in the tedium of waiting, a spark of creativity ignited within. Rather than succumbing to the drudgery, they decided to seize the moment and break the monotony by embarking on a self-portrait project. With their camera set up and a blank canvas before them, they saw this as a perfect opportunity to experiment with different lighting techniques. Captivated by the interplay of light and shadow, they used themselves as both subject and artist, meticulously adjusting the lighting setup to capture the most intriguing angles and expressions. In this impromptu endeavor, the photographer discovered a new sense of excitement and purpose. Amidst the seemingly mundane wait, they found an unexpected source of inspiration and a reminder of the boundless creativity that lies within the heart of a true artist.
