A Grecian Goddess
Having a vision, model and location does not necessarily mean a well executed result. In this case trying to create an art-nude image with a location a little too close to other amenities, and families having picnics in the unusually warm Irish weather, meant I’d have to cheat and resort to photoshop. So, after we

A Northern Rose…
Rachelle is visiting Ireland again and I could not pass up an opportunity to work with her again. Here’s a quick edit from today.

Tali Zorah
I never heard of this character until last week when my niece sent on some mood boards for her costume shoot. All her work head to toe. This is my first Sci fi shoot, and hopefully not the last. So many things to try still, I feel I’m only scratching the surface of doing the

Revisiting Yosemite
I first visited Yosemite Valley in 1989 without any prior knowledge of the area or its splendor. Since then I have been lucky enough to revisit the area four times during working trips to the US. My favourite approach is from highway 120 as it descends from 6000 feet to the valley floor at 4000

Lost in time
Is my photography getting better, or just my image processing? I’m playing with images for selection for a panel I want to submit later this year. One candidate needed a bit of rework taken of Holly (Ivory Flame) in 2009 below. I’m amazed at how quickly I corrected some basic “flaws” on my original processing.Â

A fantasy photo shoot
So part II of my day with Elle Beth comprised another location and a collaboration with creative stylist duo Carrot Inc. (Vaida Rascuite and Kristina Sumile) and extremely talented MUA Aushra Lauren. This time the brief was the same, dark background, period location. The difference was I left the rest entirely up to Vaida and
