Tremors

Personal Project · Art Director · Photographer · No AI Involvement · 2018

Tremors mean an involuntary quivering movement. It’s also known as an expression of an unbecoming. This conceptual photography is a project that features double exposure and strong vibrant colors depicting a condition such as dysthymia, cyclothymia, melancholia, and catatonia.

Contrast

Crucial to the final look, it's important to adjust and block unnecessary lighting during the photoshoot. However, subtle details in the shadow areas must still show to maintain the structure of the facial expression.

Colors

The next step is to adjust the light colors for a split tone, and left-right color difference. Each individual color range can be shifted to match the look and feel desired.

Layering

In several photos, it is important to layer several shots on top of each other. This technique shows movement and sometimes subtle twitches. Adding to the already intense facial expression and convincing the audience of the tremors in each subject.
