Describe your favorite picture:
“It’s taken at a hospital. I asked someone who works at the hospital to find all the x ray from all the patients with the lung cancer problem who already died. I love this one, but on the other hand I’m a smoker and I’m afraid of it too.”
Techniques used:
“Only with one light above the xray photos. And some styrofoam to bounce the light.”
