This is a series that I started in 2009, I was trying to make an abstract representation of famous characters from history along with quotes that I believe are inspiring.
I hope you like it.
Set ups:
To make Tesla, I used clay for the mustache, and black paper for the clothes, the head is a golden ball that I found in a drawer. since this is too small, the lighting also had to be small; I used the back of a DVD player for the metal background, a photo light through an umbrella, a black light for the purple glow, and a small emergency lamp just to fill some shadows.
here's the set-up:
For Edison, the tricky part was to make the body of plaster and the hair with masking tape (and then joining them with hanger wire), the desk is an old wood table and the blackboard is a cereal box with green paint.
