Of Juliet....

Description

And her Romeo....

A series of pictures I did summarising some of the key points of the story of Romeo and Juliet. I'm really happy with the way this came out, although I wish the light I used to expose the head of the rose wasn't quite so obvious.

I love this play, and the imagery and meanings in it. Unfortunately the version on this site isn't hi-res enough, but the pages are opened, in each picture, to the corresponding scene in the play - where they get married, Juliet takes the poison, and to the line "What's in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet."

Entire series shot at F8, with about 0.4 seconds exposure, at 100 ISO. Photoshop only used to add the borders and a contrast adjustment of about 2 points on each. I think at some point I might recompose this series and add in some lines from the play around it, make it more like a film poster. Up till now though, I'm happy with what I've got.
