Gemma Aguilar out-take

A couple of years ago I did a shoot for the singer-songwriter, Gemma Aguilar.

I liked this shot, but it was never used for promotion material. I've been going through some of my past photos in preparation for my LRPS, fell over this one and decided to upload it for tonight's blog post!

2013_52 Week 1: Sin

Hi all

I plan to do the '52 challenge this year (one themed photo a week). The first week's theme is sin, so I chose 'Lust' and adapted an existing shot for it. Usually I'll shoot a new photo.

This was shot with just a gridded beauty dish firing across Joel from camera left. I deliberately de-personalised the shot a little as I felt the face might be a distraction from the theme.

Retinal Overload!

Nothing clever photographically, but I loved the vivid colours!

Yo Sushi!

Sometimes it pays to look at the ceiling when you're a photographer....

A fish-eye's view from the pavement

Testing the Canon 8-15mm fisheye - I'm staggered at the angle of view and the image quality. The challenge is going to be composing interesting shots.

Just a dash of fill flash here!

Bee Woman Candid

I've no idea why she's dressed as a bee!

Watching the helicopter

I used a small aperture here to get a slow enough shutter speed to blur the blades slightly.

Processing: Converted to black and white before adding grain.
