Bang! (#40055)
Result of one of the photography society workshops. We waited for a foggy night and decided to photograph some eerie scenes in the park. We came across this little isle of trees and I had the idea to put a flash behind it. What you see here is a long exposure with 10+ flash fires.

How I Work.
Image 1. The model is a photographer/Dj who asked me to take a landscape photo of him, backlit, in a forest, using his own lighting set up (2 remote flashguns either side). I did the best I could having not really been exposed to the world of photo shoots very much. Image 2. The model…

Natural (#32030)
One of my first photos of Mia. This is probably the 2nd or 3rd week we’ve had her so she’s around 2 months here and clearly a natural model. The reason I post this photo in my Chronicles is because it’s unaltered – natural. I bent my flashgun to point at the wall to the…

This is obviously staged but since then I tried to take these photos in situ, without people noticing (until the inevitable flash). I still class myself as…

Day 5: Sheath.
I can’t think of a reason why a spider would spread its web across a sapling. Was it waiting for the plant to grow and stretch the web? If so, that’s a seriously intelligent and very lazy spider, though those two go hand in hand quite well (at least that’s how I explain my life).…

Day 4: Thistle.
A “technique” I discovered – If yo u place the flash perpendicular to the lens, with some of the light shining into the glass of the lens, it produced this blue, washed-out effect that gives photos an interesting finish. I obviously emphasised the effect a little in Lightroom but the original looked pretty much like…
