I decided to create an image depicting the beautiful autumn colors of Halloween. I also decided to add some spookiness to this gorgeous scene by using some skulls. Nothing says Halloween like scary skulls. Of course I had to include a lovely little orange pumpkin. Orange lilies, and a thick orange lit candle all captured against a black backdrop depict the magic of Halloween.
Halloween Fantasy
I chose a scorpion, and a teradacyl to accompany a small skull. I placed the skull atop a green glass vase and I chose three mini pumpkins, resting under a ceramic green vase. I added green hydrangeas to the vase and place them alongside a red vase with pink lilies. I photographed this against a white backdrop but added a blue-green texture as a background to accentuate the whimsical scene. The setup creates a quirky contrast between the natural and the macabre in a harmonious composition.
Halloween
I thought it only fitting that I do a Halloween themed image. I decided to photograph this scene agains a black backdrop to give it a spooky and eerie quality. I always seem to get some flowers into many of my creations. These pink lilies add a pretty pop of color, as does the bright orange candle. The brown pewter candle holder enhances the color of the beautiful textured candle. I placed a small skull atop a green glass vase. A scorpion and mini pumpkins complete my the eerie atmosphere and my vision.
