As can be seen from these shots I tried various poses as Mary Magdalene and used the idea of the skull and the books to depict memento mori and meditation and reflection on the her transformation.
Neoteric Photography aims to explore photography in an age where the image is everywhere. The image has become prolific yet easily forgotten. Hoping to find something to hold onto, something that will survive longer that it takes for pixels to appear upon a screen.

Creating the First Altar Piece: Test Shots 1
To create the first altar piece I have created test shots using my Olympus E3 in the photographic studio with the ISO 400/500, F5 and a slow expose of between 1/20 and 1/30 as I was using a tripod. I also underexposed by 2 stops to ensure that the black background was pure black. The focal length was 28mm. Here are the first test shot contact sheets - I shot in Black and White in RAW and jpg.
