“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.
