Clown Mask Photographs

I have a lovely new gadget, so i thaught i'd have a quick play about with it :) 

(I really hope this doesnt scare too many people away, so incase anyones scared of clowns, SCROLL DOWN QUICK!) 

My new gizmo is a neat little camera, nothing too flashy and it was second hand, but it works well and im pretty damn happy with it!

These photos are of my clown mask (which features in a post loooooong ago) that i made a couple of years ago for Halloween. I played about with the shutter speeds and movement to make them look like this. I think they look a bit like they're laughing away and something fairly grousome...

This is the clown costume i made for Halloween in 2010

To make the mask i created a mold from plaster scene, covered it in cling film and then used paper mache to make almost a cast of it that was light weight enough to where. I painted it with acrylics and used a dusting technique to create the smooth, layered colour transitions. This photo was taken on weymouth sea front by my friend Abi Arnold, who is a fantastic photographer and managed to make this image look so ghostly by moveing the camera in circles while taking the photo. The lighting in the back ground is currently being re-designed by an amazing artist from Lous, Vong Phaophanit.
