saran wrap?

[mr. virgo]

has anyone tried a saran wrap shoot? if so, how'd it turn out and what are your pointers?

[Quo Fan]

Silly question, what is a saran wrap shoot?

[peeperita]

if it is what i think it is the model is dressed in saran wrap.....

[mr. virgo]

yes, the model is dressed in plastic wrap

a girlfriend of mine did this a few years back for a valentine gift......

i've never shot one, but i could tell you where i would start.....my friend's image was done with a point and shoot on a timer.......i noticed that the on board flash blew out the saran wrap to the point where it was just one white blob with my girlfriend's arms and legs sticking out of it.........i'd be inclined to practice on an object before the session and watch how light affects the plastic....my first thought would be to have hard lights set up to the sides and no flash..or at least bounce the flash up for my model's face to look nice......i'm thinking that if the light is too difused you might lose all the contouring the wrap has....

just random thoughts.....sounds like a fun project.....

Heh. I was betting it was a lens trick of some sort. Guess my mind isn't dirty enough.

This thread reminds me of the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" when Kathy Bates got all dressed up in Saran Wrap and her husband thought she'd lost her mind...LOL!
