Over the past several weeks I've been working towards acquiring a few Vader pieces. With this, I'm going to be working on a personal photography project I titled "Project Vader" - not to be confused with "The Vader Project".
https://www.facebook.com/The-Vader-Proj ... 68/?ref=tshttps://www.flickr.com/photos/starwarsb ... 262862719/At one time I was thinking "Project DV", but that could get dyslexically confusing with "Project VD".
So "Project Vader" it is. Simple and easy.
The intention of the project is to further develop my commercial photography and product lighting ability - and the Vader helmet, as we've seen in the movies, can be very difficult to capture.
Within the project, I'm hoping to do a photographic study/comparison of Vader's helmet before (RAW casting) and after (painted/finished). This will also create a little personal archive and wall art for myself. However, based on certain agreements within the Vader Helmet community I won't be allowed to publicly show everything I photograph. I will actually need to get permission to show certain images, which I'm fine with - I don't want to overstep any agreements.
The secondary reason I'm choosing to do this, and it's a biggie. Tax Deductions. AKA My wife won't kill me with all these purchases.
...In fact, the purchases become highly validated.
....best of all, the first of element of my project arrives this afternoon.
Gotta thank The Prop Den and a few excellent members/helmet owners (you know who you are) for making this happen.
