Cheeky

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Another shot from the great fun shoot with Becca and Catherine with a very mischievous looking Becca.

img_8425_1bThis 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.

The wonderful Catherine in a photographer’s mainstay b&w portrait. img_8398bimg_8398_1b

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.

img_8550_4bCatherine 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!

img_8350_3bThe 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:

Orange

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

The full size version of Feather-Lashings.

Despite trying to move on from orange, I still somehow manage to end up with orange.

Feather Queen

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Another 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, 2009

The wonderful Becca and Catherine once again demonstrating that given the right subject material anyone can take great photos.

Burst

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

A (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!)

Stripey, frenchy, moody

A combination shot with the amazing Becca and incredible Catherine.

Another shot from the new mini-studio

Feather-lashings

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

The insanely photogenic Catherine demonstrating her amazing modelling skills with some absolutely crazy eyelashes (they are indeed fake — I know you can hardly believe it)

One of the first photos in my new mini-studio, the small space hopefully doesn’t limit the possibilities too much.
