The studio is a mess

copy work

Some copy work. Each image is built from 2 seperate images, a main one and everything is moved except the black box, it's carded off so no reflections are showing. The images are merged in Photoshop with a layer mask.

CapStrat Print Magazine

Some shots for CapStrat for Print Magazine.

St. Marys

A profile on the school St. Marys for a local magazine. So my New Years resolution was to get away from flat lighting, put away the softboxes and umbrellas. I really into bare bulb and reflectors when shooting editorial people and 9 out of 10 time it works great. But not today ......... I have my main light 3/4 camera left and a back light 3/4 right behind the subject at + 1/2 stop to give seperation from the background. This dose not work well on a hot summer day when your subject is all dressed up and sweating. I spent more time retouching the images then shooting them.

Sinn City

A shot for the club Sinn City. Tungsten balance with fill flash.

The easy ones are the hard one #2

Some images from the "Restroom Sign" Process. I tried lighting the sign everywhich was you could think of. I ended up using a flash light and painting with light @ 12sec. exposure painting on the left and right to bring out the texture from the paper. This did cause some funky shadows on the people and letters. I ended up pathing them off and adding seperate layers for each and filling with an off white and messing with the opacity and modes.
