CommentaryI asked my model to touch the Van der graaf generator so the electrostatics make her hair stands on end. I wanted the effect of electricity running through a person, as that is what the power of the drink provides.

Commentary: I got someone to wave the flash light on a phone. So it shows up as bright as possible, I tried to keep the room dark to get the best effect. To do this, I used long exposure on the camera settings. Which means this moving light has become clearly visible. This involves a long duration shutter speed to capture aspects of the image sharply. E.g. Blurring.

Commentary: Making sure alllight is kept from the room.Apart from the fairy lights, thatI got someone to wave around.I used the long exposure setting to capture the motion of thesmall lights clearly. This leaves enough time for every bit of light

to sink into the image, to produce the effect of still light.

away with closed curtainsCamera: Canon 1100D Aperture: F/18Shutter Speed: 8 secondsCommentary: I wanted to create an effect of electricity and sparks. I got someone to wave the lights around in different directions and shapes. I took these pictures specifically to be in the background of my brochure.

away with closed curtainsCamera: Canon 1100D Aperture: F/18Shutter Speed: 2.5 secondsCommentary: I got someone to wave a phone around to create this effect. I blocked the light completely away from the room, so that the focus was on the phone light. To do this, I used slow shutter speed. I wanted this picture for the front/back of my brochure because it fits in well with the blue brushes that I used in the background.

Commentary: These pictures are similar to the other van der graaf generator pictures, but from different angles. I wanted to show the effect of the hair standing on end, to show the power of electric, throughout a person.

Commentary:: This was a different set of fairy lights. I tried colourful ones. However, I preferred the effect of the white coloured lights. These lights weren’t as easy to wave around, so I couldn’t get the range of shapes and effects I wanted to gain from this.

Commentary: I used the white infinity wall and set the equipment up in front of it. I got the model to keep hold of it until her hair stood up as much as possible.

Commentary: This is another photo of the phone screen waving motion. This was also to go on the front/back cover. I like the different effect it creates from the fairy lights. They are both doing similar things but look very different.
