Testing one two three. I wonder what this blog I set up a decade ago is called?

Book

Finally got this thing together, its a compilation of what I shot last year.

Portrait

clay vase

So I am working on non traditional vase shapes. I have been working so much on a particular series that I'm really bored of tall textured cylinders.

This one reminds me a bit of a beech nut.
My photo area is not set up right now, moving around my studio. Did my best with natural light.

Terracotta, multiple glazing.

LAST OF THE YEAR

here's a test pic of DAVE!

I'm doing portraits of people with dark Skin in the next few days.
and I can't find one non IRISH person to sit still.....

so I got it "close" with DAVE!

he's Black Irish.....maybe...

any way got tons of these sort of shots... but I like this one.....it's a test... but he looks good.
so.
here's DAVE!

Family Portraits - Swapped Faces

Worked this as a poke to one of my friends recently and actually found it pretty bizarre and interesting to behold. Thinking of doing some more for folks to make a small collection. Click and view it large for better effect.



Thoughts? Nightmares? Hehehe

the inbetween time

I like to be early for shoots.
that way I only feel rushed when I am.
plus the client likes to walk in and see you ready to go, put's them at ease a bit, same with whom ever it is will be in front of the lens.


so when given a chance I will snap a shot here or there while I'm waiting for the action to start.

I took this shot waiting to do some Portraits of Board Members of a Large Charity in town.
I was set up inside this hotel where they were having a meeting, looked out the window and saw this image.... the light changed before I got there... for the better I think... then it was gone, Fleeting light is....in 10 mins this court yard was Shadow.. all the light you see is reflected off the buildings around it, 2 white ones, 1 with a Mirror finish.

I must remember to go back and shoot some people there.
