Entitled “Dance of The Necromancer” 

Whats the story behind this studio session image? 😎 

Single light-source set 

Shot in a single exposure/capture/In-camera effect

Result of experimenting "by being arty and dragging the shutter" ...

An intial flash fire-freeze .... illuminating the subject, whilst "repetitive-turntable-motion applied" Plus ... Illuminating the remainder of the exposure "shutter-drag-time" with the parabolic reflectors 'halogen-modelling light' (set to proportional) to place an emphasis on ghosting-effect, in order to yield "movement in the subject"
