Photos, Drawings, Thoughts and Tantrums

 So, I thought of trying out some projection photography. Since this was a trial I opted to use a rather docile model, quite and very obedient - basically a mannequin 😊 Also I managed to borrow a projector since a good projector, is not something you buy cheaply and obviously wanted to avoid having to purchase one for just a trial - eventually I will get one since now I have other cool ideas for this style which I would love to try out.  I settled on 3 main trial themes illustrated below - let me know what you think in the comments .  Social Head F*** : Depiction of the fast life we are pushed into by social media.  Head Lines : An abstract rendition of our obsession to chasing news headlines or avoiding them for some! Migraine : Abstraction of the burning sensation brought by constant pressure. View these images and more on my PicFair Store 

I started experimenting with Splash photography, using water droplets, using flash (in this case speed-lights) to capture the freeze moment. The set up, as shown below, is relatively easy. Although I managed to get some decent images out of it, I want to explore better ways of doing this to maximize the instances of getting the “perfect splash”. Work in Photoshop for this was quite minimal and involved mainly removing stray drops and retouching the ‘horizon’ so its fully level - the rest was all coming directly from the camera. An this is the image achieved. Splash Photo Setup

Hey its great - my photos of the latest photoshoot for Shanel Debattista have been published in Shanels profile on Ice Models Management South Africa !!

Some 2 weeks ago took some new photos for Maltese Model (& ex Miss World Malta), Shanel Debattista. To be honest I love working with Shanel as she is very outgoing and easy to work with and most importantly delivers great photos. These photos are to be used in Shanel's portfolio within a South African modeling agency, which was a very exciting opportunity for me, plus I was very happy to hear from Shanel herself that her agent "loved the photos". I wish this girl all the luck in the world as she deserves it! click here to view more images
