Description good thing his skin was flame retardant! to bad for the clothes though... But yeah he is really holding that fire and no it didn't hurt him, just scared him a bit at first as it does me haha

part of the humans and natual elements thing -taken with color film iso 200

P FREAKIN S. this was way harder then you think it was most likely. first off it's so hard to focus in such low light situations and to get it with no motion blur and him looking at the camera rather then the flame! Plus we didn't want to burn him and I was working with a camera with no zoom for a better aperture availability. Anyways thought i would throw that out there. Cause I was proud of all these

Loved the colours, the contrast, it's a great shot.
Ever since I learned to make a fireball like that [and I do have some and love playing with them xD] I wanted a picture like this one...
But as I got no photographer to model to, I'm still waiting .-.

[the most I could get was this [link] in an anime party ;B]

I must say they are rather enjoyable! Ahh but the first time it scared me so bad just to have it dropped into my hand. UG. My nerves were so focused on it hurting that my brain was to no avail. But I think I've gotten used to it and it just looks so magical...

If you get to model for someone with it, i'd love to see

Yes, they are. It's funny to see people's face when you are holding a fireball.
A friend of mine wanted to try it... as soon as I dropped it into her hand she threw it towards me and my haaair @_@'
And it looks magical indeed *-*

Well, I'll try, I still want to. Just have to wait for a cold day, so I can bear more of it on my hand

If you are proud of the shots it doesn't matter what anyone else says. I think you did a great job on this one, especially with the focus.

hm...I'm quite interested in how his skin was so flame retardant. I have guesses of a mix of water and alcohol, butwhatever.

You've done a good job here of making the sexual element of this piece sort of fade into the background, somehow. I think maybe it's his guarded expression and how it's situated in between the brightest and darkest spaces of the picture..

I see. In other news, this shot reminds me of either Tom Bombadil or Gandalf as a young man. I think that's a compliment.
