Face study- Zoe

Responding from my tuesday group session with Richard (who stated I should capture the movement of my subject's emotion) I purchased a Lomo Uboot camera. This small camera has four lens' which when triggered go off one after the other; thus allowing any slight movements of Zoe to be captured. Initially, I got this idea from looking at one of Andy Warhol's books (previous post) as it fascinated me with regards to how the slightest movement can often completely change the photograph. 
This camera is pretty much a piece of plastic, with no viewfinder or any controls whatsoever (other than the shutter) it stripped me of my comfort zone- these photographs would be all about the light. 
In order to capture these photographs, I would manually trigger the studio flashes in sync with the camera; the results are, from my perspective, an unusual analysis of the face. 
This is something I would love to do again as it truly captures Zoe's movement which within itself portrays many aspects of her character.
