We went to my friend's studio last night with a plan. Then we abandoned it. I took a projector and my laptop and the "plan" was to put the muse in the middle of the room on a draped box and project textures on her. I thought the excess light would be lost in the distance since the main room is about 40 x 20. Ultimately, I could not find anything to get the projector at the right height, so we punted that idea.

What we did end up doing was projecting onto a seamless grey background with the muse posing in front. I queued up the images in Lightroom and moved them around as she posed and fired my camera from a tripod. Our friend Mark shot images at the same time handheld with his A6000. Focus and the stillness of the model during relatively long exposures were an issue and I'd say he had about a 30% keeper rate and mine was slightly less. He was shooting at 1/40th at ISO 1600 and I was shooting much slower.

We had fun and here are some of the results. I just ordered an Arca plate and I'm going to make a tripod mount for the projector and at some point in the next few weeks, we'll do it all over again following the original plan. I also have a better idea of what types of images work best and are the most interesting when projected on skin.

I am including some of Mark's shots which he gave to me last night.
