Robot Army: "Navy"

Robot Army: "Navy"

  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 five of the series, "Navy".

After finally starting to get the hang of strobes by this point, this particular part of the series was plagued with other technical difficulties. The first shoot, my model got sick and we had to go home. The second shoot, something went wrong with my camera and all four rolls were blank. I finally had luck on the third shoot.
