The C-Section

Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 50mm f1.8 + IR remote. Tutu is made. Octopus lamp for lighting. Minor vignetting in post editing. Color balancing. Darkened shadows and increased midtones to create a slightly better contrast.

Additional Comments
Hoping to do more with this style of lighting. I've been meaning to do this concept for awhile. I would much prefer it done with a pregnant model though. If anyone wants to replicate the concept with a pregnant model feel free; I'd love to see the results. Or maybe I'll try this shot again in a decade or so

PS: No, these markings are not the markings for a real cesarean. This is simply a conceptual realization; not a literal representation.

I generally hate explaining concepts but some people seem to be interpreting this photo way too literally. One deviant seems to have summed up the interpretation fairly well: "Sounds painful. But what do I know about childbirth; I'm a guy. LOL on the tic-tac-toe board!"

In other words: It's a lighthearted, childish spin on a painful sacrifice inspired by personal oblivion.

If you want to suggest another title, feel free. If you interpreted the concept differently, I'd love to hear what it was
