Again, I spotted these because they seem relatively straight forward in location and posing, yet engaging. Obviously it helps when we instantly recognise a famous face.

Heros

I thought this image was quite playful for the theme 'Heros'

Fame

The other night I watched Fame ( the recent take on it).

Got a few ideas from it and it kinda gave me some inspiration as it tries to reflex the toil, sweat and hard efforts of the kids to be professionals in the performing arts world.

I like retro images and I recently came across some in the latest edition of '125' magazine

Magazine images

These are some images I saw some time ago but thought it would be better to have them on the blog.

I like them because they're not complex. A location shoot and a portrait with glasses.

An exhibition image from last semester.

From a range of black and white's in the studio.

Images from a shoot

This is from a shoot I did in December last year. The concept was looking at the medium of Photography and the essential element of light in capturing an image. Location lighting was used here to create an image that would not necessarily be possible without some sort of artificial lighting for the the specific look that I wanted to achieve.

I also tried to link the models with the location of an abandoned warehouse.

They did thank me after their best trainers were covered in crud from the clean floors.

As an experiment, I shot this shoot in Film, Colour and B/W and also in digital to compare the results.

Although I like digital for its work flow and often low cost, I really like film because of the quality of results I get, especially with the colour film in this shoot.

Here are some more images from the shoot

Equipment used:

Bowens location lighting kit,

Large Softbox,

Mamiya RB67

Ilford Delta 100,

Kodak 160NC

Everyone Starts somewhere.

I'm starting off my Blog, which will hopefully serve me and others with my work, references and inspirations.

Hopefully it is more comprehensive than my journal efforts in the past, which have always got off to as good start, much like diets and gym exercising in a New Year :)
