Sign Language Reshoot

AllHailZ · Apr 29, 2008

If you guys remember the last thread that didn't really work out because of the lighting and latex gloves. Well, I reshot and this time they turned out pretty decent, IMO. When I cropped it to cut off her head, it just looked weird and dismembered. So I left part of it so the viewer would still notice it and know it's there but it's not distracting.

And these are the reshoots, with a different model. This time, the signs describe what ASL means to me. The beauty of ASL is you could rearrange any of the pictures and it would still make sense. You don't have to follow the English grammar rules. New pics -

1. ASL (American Sign Language)

2. Is

3. Life

4. My

5. Way

6. Of

7. Language

8. No/Nothing

9. Sound

10. Music

11. Only

12. Love

13. Beautiful

That is pretty cool.

yup pretty cool... good idea.

i think the "Language" one is good, probably would have been better if you ahd gotten her whole head in the frame, or even a full body shot and a little play about with brightness.contrast?

Very, very cool. I really like the swirl in 'Beautiful', but you can't really make out the actual hand gesture. All of them are amazing though, very innovative.
