Annie Inspired!

Having been pretty heavily inspired over the past year or so by Annie Leibovitz's work I can't help but think its leaking into my work somewhat...

Mistakes Happen Right...?

Unfortunately, every now and then, there is a bum shot. Underexposed or not quite how you wanted it. It happens. So here is a wee section on how I deal with it. I'm gonna post a few videos like this over the next few weeks with some more detail and close up shots on some of the techniques I use. Enjoy!

One Light!

Before

After

Everyone loves a before and after shot. This is a shoot in the urban surround of Glasgow. We headed out with 3 outfits, a model Mhairi an make up artist Lynsey C Reilly, me, a camera and one speed light. The shoot was really to let me play with some new retouching tech and play around a little with one flash light source.

One Clown... 303 to go.....

A little self portrait project I did a while back with my good friend Jak. We Shot 304 images that evening each one with ever progressing make-up. If you look hard you can see my eyes getting redder and redder as we slapped on more and more make-up. The plan is to do a few more shoots like this where I will post up the whole shoot. Its a great learning tool for models. Also having a movie like this in their digital folio is something that not many of them do, but it can really show how interesting their poses are and how much they give on a shoot.

I don't really like being on this side of the camera but every now and then its good to do it and remind yourself how it feels. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.....
