Halloween Photography Special
It’s Halloween week, which means it’s time to adjust that camera for night time, eerie lighting, and creepy characters. This collection has basic tips and ideas, shots and apps to try, and a bit of history too — “ghost photography” started as an accident but shrewd photographers realized long-exposures were an asset too. Classic photos of trick-or-treaters in the 1970s recall the pop culture of the era. Remember the Bionic Woman, C3PO, the Tin Man, and even just the lowly plastic mask?
William Mumler claimed he could photograph ghosts ... and no one could prove he couldn’t. Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO In the mid-1800s, the development of exciting new forms of communication, like photography and the telegraph, was considered miraculous. This technology also coincided with a new religious movement becoming popular in the US and Europe: spiritualism. Spiritualists believed that, through the use of a medium, contact with the dead was possible. During the bloody American Civil War (1861-1865), belief in Spiritualism grew. It was during this time that William Mumler, an amateur photographer in Boston, claimed he could photograph ghosts. He and his wife Hannah, herself a professional photographer and Spiritualist medium, created a stir in Boston by selling these "spirit portraits," and attracted the attention of Spiritualists and skeptics alike. Professional photographers in Boston investigated Mumler's method again and again but couldn't figure out how he did his trick. After accusations of fraud piled up in Boston, the Mumler’s relocated to New York City, the photographic capital of the US. Here, Mumler was quickly arrested on fraud charges, and his trial was sensationalized in New York newspapers. The prosecution even brought in circus showman P.T. Barnum to testify against Mumler. But, like the photographers in Boston, no one could confidently identify his method — and Mumler was acquitted. Once the trial was over, the Mumlers' spirit photography business boomed. They photographed prominent Americans, including Mary Todd Lincoln and William Lloyd Garrison, and even took mail-in orders from people who couldn't visit their studio in Boston. We visited photographic process historian Mark Osterman to demonstrate how Mumler could have used two negatives, printed simultaneously with a bit of sleight of hand, to fool witnesses into believing his "ghosts" were the real thing. Our director of photography in Annapolis, Maryland, was Colin Faust. Darkroom is a history and photography series that anchors each episode around a single image. Analyzing what the photo shows (or doesn't show) provides context that helps unravel a wider story.

In this video, we celebrate Halloween by creating a mummy-inspired beauty look using DIY styling (pantyhose) and a creative in-camera technique called shutter drag. By combining strobe and continuous lights, I achieve ghostly streaks, adding a layer of creepiness to the Halloween images. To achieve this look, I use the following setup: Main Light: Profoto Pro D3 with Beauty Dish + Grid Continuous Light: Nanlite Pavotube 15X and 30X In the end, my camera settings were 1/5 sec, F11, ISO 100, and then I introduced camera movement (and subject movement) for this ghostly effect!
