“Rubber Ducky, you’re the one,
You make bath time lots of fun,
Rubber Ducky, I’m awfully fond of you;”
–Ernie from Sesame Street
For today, I wanted to create an image with colors associated with spring and make something fun and whimsical. With the duck as the subject, I was inspired both by comic books and the Marilyn Monroe prints by Andy Warhol. Why shouldn’t you get your ideas (Steal Like an Artist) from other artists and mediums?!
I shot two images of the duck – front and profile – on my copy stand. The lights were set at about at 45 degrees on either side and I used a piece of white foam core held above the camera to add some fill light. In Photoshop, I duplicated each image once, placed each duck on a different color background, added the dots and the comic book frame, and created the square grid.
See, not all of my images are dark and moody! 😉 This is day 172 of my 365 photo a day project.
