Not Too Bright

Posted to Flickr on 30 May 2009. Part of the Stormtroopers series.

This was an accident.

I was trying to adjust the lighting on the rear wall for another photo I was taking. I grabbed a nearby stormtrooper and used him as a quick stand-in just so I could see what it looked like.

After I was done I found I actually liked this one, even though he’s not really doing anything, other than perhaps looking confused.

Stormtroopers: the Empire’s finest.

Setup

This photo was taken in my kitchen using some pretty simple Gear. You might be surprised to discover how low-tech my "photography studio" really is.

Stormtroopers

The stormtrooper is the elite soldier of the Imperial forces in the Star Wars universe. They typically wear white armor and helmets and are armed with blasters. Imperial stormtroopers were first depicted in the film Star Wars (1977). As shown in the Star Wars prequels Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005), the stormtroopers were preceeded by the clone troopers, an army of soldiers cloned from the bounty hunter Jango Fett and loyal to Emperor Palpatine. In many ways stormtroopers are an iconic symbol of the Galactic Empire.
