Adrian Carmody

Carmody is an Australian photographer.

I find this image very interesting because at first glance I would presume that it was made using a long exposure and the models movement. However I think that specific lines in the image suggest that this is a multiple exposure image. The top of the models head down to the shoulder however is blurred which would argue against a multiple exposure. Carmody may have used both of these techniques or accidentally exposed one image for too long, capturing movement.

I am pretty confident that this image uses a long exposure with a single dominant exposure which sets the mold for the whole image. Two main lights have been used from above and behind the model which explains the main highlights on her arms and back. The position of the model is similar to that of an ape or neanderthal. The unkempt hair would also strengthen this idea. The colour is also very effective in this image because of the contrast between the left side of the image which is a lot cooler than the warmth of the right side.
