Hypo-Eyes
Saturday, August 29th, 2009The hypnotic Becca in another shot from the recent shoot which is still providing lots of wonderful images.
Beauty
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009Another shot of the wonderful Becca.
A fairly run-of-the-mill headshot, but with such a wonderful subject each shot becomes extra-special.
This is quite a small section of a much wider shot, but hopefully the resolution doesn’t detract from it too much.
Cheeky
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009Another shot from the great fun shoot with Becca and Catherine with a very mischievous looking Becca.
This was a bit of late night PhotoShopping after a few beers and even in the cold light of day, I’m not sure whether this is an example of drunken PhotoShopping to horrible extremes or an example of what results can come once inhibitions are lessened!
Hopefully the edits are not too blatantly obvious or horrible — although they might be more obvious in the full length crop (right).
It’s a shame that the square crop is so under-rated, too many images are kept to 4×3 (monitor) or 3×2 (35mm film) crops.
Headshot
Friday, August 21st, 2009The wonderful Catherine in a photographer’s mainstay b&w portrait. 
I quite like the b&w version (compared to the colour version on the right), I find it a strange mix of high key of the face an low(ish) key of the top. Not sure if the skin-tones really work (could be a bit too high) and I’m not convinced of the crop which has a more powerful feeling to it than the original (in my opinion) but the more plain, obvious crop has a more classic look to it.

Catherine in a spot of pondering.
Alternative coloured version to the right. Yet again not sure which one I prefer, they have the same tonal quality and only differ in colour, but still I can’t decide!

The wonderful Catherine & Becca (l-to-r)
As usual with my fiddling with photoshop, I’ve ended up with various versions of the same image. For some reason I’m quite drawn to the high contrast, punchy, version above despite it’s potentially not-so-flattering look. Perhaps a more traditional, flatter image is better with such beautiful subjects — decide for yourselves:
Modesty

Thursday, August 6th, 2009Next shot from the fantastic shoot with Becca. Unfortunately Becca looks stunning in so many of the photos, it’s difficult to chose ones to focus on.
P.S. Yet Another Purple Photo
Saturday afternoon Lounging
Thursday, August 6th, 2009The wonderful Cassie posing in an almost-as-wonderful sofa (just kidding).
From our trip to Prague — by far the most amazing hotel room in which I’ve ever stayed.
Purple pick me up
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009The beautiful Becca showing why neckwear is an essential accessory.
This scarf provided lots of fun (some would say too much) :
And these aren’t even the most embarrassing of the photos!
The Look
Monday, August 3rd, 2009A very old shot of the always stunning Cassie.
If I remember correctly, the lighting was cobbled together using an outdoor floodlight and some sheets of white paper …. ah good ol’ student days
Orange
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009The full size version of Feather-Lashings.
Despite trying to move on from orange, I still somehow manage to end up with orange.
The Three Graces
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009Town Square
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009Looking out over Prague’s old town square with the astronomical clock on the wall of the old town hall.
The view from the top of the hotel
Feather Queen
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009Another photo of the wonderful Catherine sporting an almost insane number of feathers.
B+W conversion from the original colour (see below) — not sure which I prefer
Closeness
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009The wonderful Becca and Catherine once again demonstrating that given the right subject material anyone can take great photos.
Burst
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009A (overly?) colourful shot of the wonderful, stunning-in-every-photo Catherine.
Orange explosion was an extremely unsuccessful attempt to make a golden halo (as you can see, both my aim and colour vision is somewhat off!)
