Behind the Scenes: Dine Out On This!
Any special dietary requirements?
Well, not really dietary, but extensive and precisely laid-out cutlery is needed, plus food items also to be carefully lined-up on the plate, if you please.
Aside from all of that strict arrangement stuff, our dining episode was inspired by a work of art. This time, it was a painting by Magritte, 'The Magician', that gave us the stimulus of an idea.

There was something about that expression that reminded me of the seriousness of our character the Hat.
Another, more famous work of art was also borne in mind for this shoot.
Caravaggio's 'Supper at Emmaus', with typical chiaroscuro lighting of the artist, is not so far away from the lighting atmospheres we try to create.
Below, is a set-up shot. I liked the theatrical flavour of being not quite in costume, perhaps more like an actual rehearsal?
Please note, after Monday's posting, there will be a short intermission in our schedule. This is rare, but is due to unavoidable circumstances.
Stay tuned, and join the adventure!

Behind the Scenes: Unbroken Silence!
This week, we have gone for a compilation series, as dedicated fans will recognise. In our selection, we aimed to suggest a kind of silent dialogue in progress, between the two characters.
We plundered our archive, going back some time, for shots like this one:

We also included some favourites; this one below, for example. Here, we like the contrast of silhouette and lit face, the strong shadows and the overall tonality.
As may have been mentioned before; in setting up our photographs we have some degree of control, but cannot always predict how the shots turn out. There is room for success and for failure.
Stay tuned, and join the adventure!
