Jack and Sammie
Here's some of the images resulting from a collaboration with the make-up artist Kat Fawcett. The concept for the shoot was to have Kat paint some cool tribal-like designs all over two willing models, Jack and Sammie. This would also allow me to play with some light coloring without having to worry about flesh tones, of which there would simply be none.
Susan
Things really went out of my usual comfort zone on our last shoot, but it was well worth it! Meet Susan, who got in touch via the Casting Call form I recently added to my website. Susan's style leans towards Cybergoth, and has a great deal of colourfulness and interesting details I thought it would be great to capture in an image
Inspiration: Drive
It is long due, but I finally got around to seeing the film Drive and I don't think I managed to pay so much attention to the plot absorbed as I was by the visuals. The cinematography of this movie by Newton Thomas Sigel is spectacular. Let's take a closer look.
Inspiration: Adam Rowney
I would like to talk a bit about sources of inspiration today, starting off by introducing the work of my fellow photographer Adam Rowney.These images are from his last publication. I love them because of their elegance, achieved by a clean composition and impeccable use of black and white. The lighting on these shots comes from a flashgun diffused by an umbrella - simple stuff done right: note how the light wraps around the model, the smooth transition between light and shadows which retain detail on the blacks, and the softness of those shadows. This is a beautiful example of Rembrandt lighting.
