AIR FORCE 2003 ✦ film photography ✦ Robot Army part 3 of 6    This was a pretty signification project for me. I did this series while in my last year of college, finishing up my BA in photography, and was learning about studio lighting. I decided to go all-out with the shoots, and clutter my friends up with lots of gadgets, odds & ends, and metallic body paint. Initially, the robot series didn't have an overarching theme beyond, well, "robots are cool", but as I was starting the project, the US started off its "Shock & Awe" attack on Iraq. I was anxious about where that pointless war would lead the world, and that set the tone for the series. This is part three of the series, "Air Force". My friend Ryan posed for "Air Force". This one was fraught with technical difficulties with the lighting (strobes were still eluding me at that point), but I got some workable shots.
