Interesting way of getting the artists to loosen up. It's nice to see artists who do work like this, not everything has to be serious all the time, unfortunately some people work that way. It's nice to see the different approaches to the same assignment. This is a lot of fun. Interesting way of getting the artists to loosen up.

My unique objection is that it is really still. Anyway, just for my curiosity, is it possible to know what is the prize? Take care, Nicola I must admit that M&A picture is really impressive, so my congratulations. My unique objection is that it is really still. Anyway, just for my curiosity, is it possible to know what is the prize?
Take care,

Like Mike says, we generally don't give away any "trick" info, aside from saying everything was set up in front of the camera and can be found on one negative. As for the rest, nothing especially fancy - Hasselblad 500 c/m, Ilford Delta 100. Please direct any further inquiries to the chicken mentioned above. His response to "chicken nugget" is a little perplexing, but he clearly knows how to make an good sandwich picture, and has some compelling dance moves to boot. Thanks, guys!

I stayed away from this assignment for the very reason you created it. To loosen up. For some reason initially I could'nt get the idea of "dropping my camera while taking the shot" out of my mind. And the thought of shooting on a tripod just did'nt seem right. Having said that, the illusionistic quality of the winner is in my oppinion really neat. She really looks like she is floating.
