This photo-shoot wasn't particularly inspired by any photographer and was more as a response to a Godfried Schalcken painting I saw at an art gallery, entitled "A Boy Blowing on a Firebrand to Light a Candle".
I found the lighting in this painting really intriguing and so I attempted to do a shoot with similar lighting, using a single candle to illuminate my face. I used myself as a model as I knew the kind of photo I was wanting to produce. These photos were all a little too dark, but I liked the mood of the photos and thought they were interesting.
I liked the orangey colouring of the photos, as its not something you usually see in commercial images, howevver I experimented with turning some of them black and white.
