I've been shooting phone boxes at night for years, there's something incredibly surreal about the effect their lights create.

Extra Q: Please share an interesting or funny fact that happened while working on this photograph.
This shot was actually a test shot for something more complicated I was working on, but the lighting effects I was trying just didn't work as well with the subject. I just left it naturally lit and I'm incredibly happy with it.

Half Off by Arek Papelian

5 questions about this photo:

Q1. What equipment did you use?
I used a Canon EOS 5D Mark II with a 100mm f2.8 L IS, Canon 430 ex2 Flash fired with Cactus V4 Flash Triggers. The flash was at about a 45 degree angle from the subject. Oh, and I used a snoot. The flash was about 3 feet away from the subject on a tripod and the camera was about half that distance away from the subject. I used a Hahnel Giga T Pro remote for shutter release.

Q2. What settings did you have on your camera?
Exposure 1/200 sec, Aperture f/13.0, Focal Length 100 mm, ISO Speed 50

Q3. What software did you use during the post-production?
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Q4. What is the subject of the photo?
I lit the matches with a lighter, and waited for it to reach the middle, just as it did, I fired the camera. This was the first and only try, so I was very pleased because I didn't have any more matches. I also used a magic marker to color the matches red, because I didn't like them white! =)

Q5. How did you come up with the idea of this shot?
I came up with the idea from boredom! I didn't have other match shots before and wanted to try something different. I didn't use all of the tools at once, so i wanted to do something that require almost everything.

Q5. How did you come up with the idea of this shot?
I love water shots and do my best to be in the water as often as possible to take surf photos.

Extra Q: Please share an interesting or funny fact that happened while working on this photograph.
Padang-Padang is a very dangerous surf spot with shallow water and very strong currents... 5 or 10 minutes to paddle out to the lineup and almost half an hour or more to come back to the beach. This is not a funny fact but interesting enough to be noticed about how to make such a photo. While you take photos always have to be careful with surfers, waves and the reef that always try to eat your fins and your skin.
