TAMAR LEVINE & ROB SHERIDAN:
BROKEN ROBOT GIRL
“Rob and I thought this would be a fun way to push and pull between our styles. It’s part of a planned series—we’re going to do fi ve
in all. First, I photographed the model in the set-up environment, then the environment without the model. Then I photographed the
mechanical parts (we went to Home Depot) in the environment, so that the lighting was consistent. I shot with a Canon EOS 5D and
50mm f/1.4 Canon lens on a tripod—it’s important that the camera not move. For lighting I used Calumet’s monoblock strobe kit for
a fi ll and key light. I put all three images in Adobe Photoshop CS3, did the color correcting, and gave them to Rob, who’s a graphic
designer, to work his magic in CS4. We wanted the result to look as natural as possible, so, although considerable work was done
in post to create the girl’s seams and mechanical parts, much of the photo was left untouched.” —Tamar Levine p
