002-Shenzi at Sunset

            Originally, I had intended to shoot Shenzi exclusively in black and white. I even changed camera settings so that during the shoot the resulting photographs would be reviewable in monochrome. However, when it came time to load these images into Photoshop, I discovered that the RAW files were still in color. After completing Shenzi’s black and white profile, I returned to the original color image, and, because I had been shooting in black and white, I had not white balanced the scene. The image already had an orange cast to it, so I started manipulating with multiple filters and effects, and the photograph took itself from there. To me this photograph recalls the scene in The Lion King where the Hyenas watch Simba escape from the Pride Lands into the desert after they had staged an unsuccessful attempt to destroy him. With Banzai picking cactus thorns out of his butt, Shenzi looks into the distance at Simba’s vanishing profile racing towards the setting sun, and declares, “Well, he’s as good as dead out there anyway. And if he comes back, we’ll kill him.”
