Why did you kill him?

This piece has taken me a long time to complete. The idea behind it was to capture more emotion then I have been doing in some of my work. Just being behind the camera became an intense experience while photographing these models.

I wanted to capture anger and rage and to be able to feel it pour out in the photo. This made me concentrate on capturing the image at just the right moment. I had to work with the models to bring the real emotions out to the surface. It felt like being a director in a movie. As much energy that went into making the exposure the majority of the time was spent post production.

I had the photo session for this originally in January and have been working on the final image on and off since. Making the background just right was the most difficult part and working on it made me realize that in the future I would like to experiment with having a more dynamic setting. This will complicate things with my process but overall I believe it will help my art. I am very pleased with how this background turned out though. Overall I believe it helps convey the emotional exchange between these individuals.
