Photography with a slant
As stated in previous posts, I seem to find little time to do the editing, finally got around do doing some more of the shoot with Marra back in September 2017.
There are still some more to do, as well as images from other shoots.
Now where did I put the keys to the time machine……..
As stated way back when, some more images from the shoot with Shawna at the Strangetown Studio in Birmingham.
St
ill a few more to go….
Finally got around to editing more of the images taken way back in September with Jason Segade, still have some more to go through. Strange, that editing images seems to be a very laboriously task, one that seems to be put off until the images turn from a straight forward task to a momentous input of effort. Still have more images from the other two models, Mara and Shawna to go through. Have posted some of their images already, and with shoots planed for December and January the workload will soon start to mount up.
I enjoy the process of taking the image, from setting the lights to directing the model to the final press of the shutter button highly enjoyable and often get lost and oblivious to time. Whilst I try and get the image right in camera, there is always a small amount of editing to do, either cropping or converting to black and white.
Still, one must press on, so here are a few more images from the shoot.
A big thanks to Jason and to David Rann.
So another post from me. Continuing the thread of my last two posts, here are some more portrait shot of local model Marra. These were all taken in the studio some using using a single soft box on her right and a white board on the right to bounce back the light.
And before anybody asks/send abusive mail etc. the coat was faux fur. There are still some more images to process, still find it difficult to put time aside for editing. Think a time management session is needed, or more hours in the day…
So if you recall my last blog of an evening spent with Shawna, well during the same evening I was also fortunate to be able to take pictures of local model/actor Jason Seagade.
The studio remained unused for the shoot, instead the corridors and lifts in the building were use, along with a replica fire arm. Jason was superb and was able to bring to the shot a lot more than normal models were able to to. This was very clearly one of his attributes as an actor. He really jumped into and embraced his role, and hopefully from the few images attached you will agree.
The images were all processed using Lightroom, and then converted to Black and White using Silver Efex.
I did consider keeping some them as colour, but with the look and feel of the building, Black and White was the only way to go, enjoy.
On Monday night I attended the opening night of a new studio in Birmingham. Housed in the old Telsen Radio building, Strangetown ( a Jam track) offers some very atmospheric locations from goods lift that come complete with grunge effect, staircases and industrial areas.
The resident model, Lady-Emilie Walt was lined up a few hours passed both in the studio and locations through the building.
Below are just a few images of Emilie from the night. Look forward to doing more shoots there in the future.
