Dentist Drill

This photograph was created to illustrate the fear of going to the dentist. It ran with a magazine article about how to overcome dentist phobia. The lighting consisted of two flood light from the front with one small background light. The lens was 24mm photographed on 35mm slide film. As I clicked off the shutter the model repaired a filling in my tooth....no, just kidding, I made that part up. My teeth did hurt after I stopped taking photographs. This photograph was also used in a MG Rover ad in the UK. I never saw the ad nor do I know how it was used to sell cars.
