We all have secrets and keep secrets. It could be bad or good secrets. But we keep these secrets for a reason.
For me, my secrets are not tales of heinous crimes or mischievous acts. My secrets are about my vulnerabilities and weakness. I keep these secrets judiciously because in the wrong ears, these secrets would hurt me.
I hope that one day, I find someone to share the secrets of my heart with, and hope that he doesn't use them to hurt me. But until I find him, I'll rather hide my secrets in dark shades, and reveal them in front of lights and camera lenses, because those won't hurt me.
For this portrait, I explored double exposure with different textures.
I created this portrait with an awkward 2-light set-up. One light was placed over her heard to serve as hair light, and also separate her from the background. The other light was placed in front of her in the same position the hair light was placed. I loved the result though.
Two weeks ago, I shared a portrait about a girl with secrets. It was my entry for the #monomad challenge, so I shared the black and white variant. Well, what do you think about the colored variant?
