more white background images

It does seem like I love to shoot on a white background! There something very pure and clean about shooting on one, there's no hiding place for the model or the photographer's direction.

So I shot a couple of things recently and the results of the first are below:

New Illustrated Work

Just received these back from Neil, the illustrator I collaborate with and am very excited!

I shot them last year but with going to LA and Neil's horrendous work load (he's always busy!) it's took a while to get them finished but here they are!

B&W Hair Images

I've been slowly working on some new images, getting round to retouching them when I can. They will form part of a series of black and white hair images. I'm building the series up over time. Whenever I'm in the studio, shooting something new with a model who has long blond hair I try and grab 10 minutes at the beginning of the shoot to rattle off a few of these images to build the set up. I think I've got another couple that need retouching and another couple of shoots planned.

Just retouched another one today (top image)

New Card....

ok, to update from yesterday, it looks like we've completely changed our minds about the images that should be on the front of the card, meaning I didn't need to spend all that time at the computer on a Sunday afternoon!

Oh well, not image looks great!

Have been ringing around a few of the printers to get a couple of new quotes for A5 postcards and just need to finalise the images for the back of the card now.

New front of card shot.

Just spent the afternoon redoing the retouching on the shot that we think will be the main image on my new card. I've attached the finished image below...

Just basically spent about 5 hours listening to this afternoon's football whilst paying close attention to the blending of the image. I know that I rattled through them all at the beginning as they were being illustrated over so they didn't need a huge amount of attention. However they are lovely shots just on their own and so with it being front of card and going out to some pretty influential people I thought I'd better put a bit of effort in!! ;o)

Behind the scenes video from LA rooftop shoot

I had wanted to drop the finished versions of the images into the video but a backlog of work has meant that I haven't been able to get the shots finished off. So whilst waiting to get the chance to finish I thought I'd get the video up for people to see.
