Last week I decided to re-shoot the Madhatter self portrait I did a few months ago. I was never quite happy with the first one, though I do like it in it’s own way, because it wasn’t what I was picturing in my head. But the camera I was using at the time didn’t have a remote, and it was a bit tricky to line up the shot, balance a pile of hats on my head AND fire the camera.
For the second version I was shooting with a rebel XT using the remote, and it made things much easier. This time I could get the spacing in the shot I was hoping for and include more hats. I like the way the bottom hat cuts off my eyes in a weird way and makes the shot just a bit creepy.
Thanks to Hop Studios for their collective loan of awesome hats to include in the shot.
