So earlier on I had a play around taking photos of myself high-key, got bored, so started fooling around with 2 lenses.
I'm with you there Pete, My favourite is the last one too, I quite like the light leak/flare that cuts through the lens. But I don't like the blue bit of the edit (lower-left) unfortunately through the power of iPhones, it couldn't be removed from the effect
Theatrical is the word! Adam, you may be interested in this Performers While I am not particularly a fan of his work (or his name) some of the images of performance artists are quite interesting.
