Two weeks before Easter Sunday, I was already planning what to post on that day…
I was browsing the most interesting photos (aka Explore) in flickriver and I saw this Danbo character. That was not the first time I saw him in Explore so I thought this guy is really appealing to flickr users, so I decided to use him as a props for my Easter shot.
It took me almost 1 hour to look for the box and cut it to be like Danbo. I used tissue paper for the eyes and red gel for the mouth =D. While making Danbo’s head, fortunately, my flatmate was cooking egg for breakfast..BINGO! An Easter egg shot for Easter Sunday!
Strobe info: SB 600 shoot through umbrella camera right at 24mm, 1/8 power and another SB 600 with CTO gel behind Danbo at 24mm, 1/8 power.
Thanks JP for sharing this with us. These Danbo characters is a cool subculture thing that I’m just starting to discover. There’s actually an entire flickr group with these cute little box guys. I’ll post a couple that are just too adorable! Oh and make sure to check out more of JP’s photos.
Remember, photography isn’t just always capturing something that is happening. You are allowed to make things happen as well.
