For the fifth shoot I decided to continue with propaganda posters. Where the first one was meant to represent the fear of a political party this project was to be for a or pro a specific political party. I continued along with the socialist party and attempted to make a pro-socialist poster. When researching similar imagery the one ongoing theme was the socialist workers fist. I took this fist (as seen below) and incorporated it into my own photography. For the shoot I went to the roof of the school and shot a few with a radio tower as the background. The lighting was fairly simple, the hands were back lit by the sunset (not directly but at an angle around 45 degrees). I then took a travelight and had it fill in the hands. After doing some repositioning I finally got the lighting just teh way I wanted. My goal was to have the fist slightly out reaching the hands reaching. The key was to get a little key light on the front side of the fist. After moving around a bit I finally got what I was looking for.
