I liked this image of the hand the best, which depicts the metaphor “scared.” This side lit composition of the hand being dead in the middle of nothing gives the feeling of someone who can become scared of. Having the hand directing toward the ground gives an optical illusion of the fingers being longer than what they actually are. The arm tattoo gives that extra push to give that dark feel for scared. To get the background totally dark was having the side strobe light to illuminate from the right side of the from toward the left, where the subject is standing. At the same time, the subject is about a foot and a half away from the background, not allowing light hit the surface.
