Before I had added the fourth leg, I chose to do a photoshoot with the deer in the photography studio. I used several of my other skulls and various backdrops and lighting to experiment more with this piece.
I love the atmosphere of this piece and the way it seems quite touching, the male deer resting his head on the female deer, whilst the two more draconic deer skulls hang around the outside, maybe waiting to feed. I also like the colours which give it quite a warm feeling despite the meaning, its quite conflicting and the composition works well.
This is where the picture above was taken, I was stood on a ladder to take the image. I like the way this image is laid out, with the most light shining on the deers face and spine, and most of the animals are surrounding the deers head. I like the way the background gives it a rather sepia-tone.
These two photos are two silhouette pictures that I took of the deer, using back lighting to make the deer stand out from the background. Im happy with these pieces as they have quite a unique appearance to them, and they are reversed to my other photos. The lighting on the bottom photo also gives it a quite eerie look, as it is directed from below it.
These photos are similar to the above ones, only reversed, the lightness of the deers bones showing up on a dark background. I also had a light spotlighted on the face for more effect. I was thinking about using these in my final piece, maybe using them as "border" pieces.
