More Strobist Work

Been busy with my new stobist lighting setup using Nikon excellent CLS system examples below. These shots where shot in a cube tent with a SB600 to the left to create lighting and this these where shot with a blue chroma screen and this was removed post production the background you see was then added and hand drawn in with additional lighting work added and burning and dodging work done these techniques will be available to portrait clients and customers later this year.






The perfect cooling off treat now the summer is finally here.

New Test Product Shots For DKNY

Been busy with puttng test shots together for a range of DKNY shades these where shot with several strobist lights combining Nikon CLS system with several flash guns waiting approval on image use see below for several examples.

Further Investment In Strobe Lighting

Additional investment had been made in Strobe and CLS lighting this is an excellent state of the art lighting that allows a mobile lighting setup than can be taken any where no wires or mains power needed. This allows any location to become a fully functioning studio.

I am really excited at the endless creative possibilities this new lighting system will now allow and Nikon CLS is bar far the best system and the results will speak for them selves.

Exciting times ahead all round really looking forward to using this on location with weddings and portraits just another service on offer to my clients and customers watch this space for more strobe lighting work examples.

Pimp Image Craze

I have always been a very active Flickr member and this is a great community for those of you that are really into photography. In America there is a real big craze going on called pimping this is basically people submitting images that for one reason or another need working on. This can be basic corrections to more indepth corrections like colour cast, skin smoothing basically what you read every day in the major glossy magazines.

You dont really think the images are as they where taken do you ?

I have been doing this for a long time as part of my image post production work and image manipulation work I offer this to my clients and customers as an available service and this is proving more popular now than ever before.

If your interested in taking a look at some examples then click on the link for my Flickr gallery and go to the pimp me set on each of the images there is the image i have worked on and you will see a link below it to the original image so you can see a before and after if you will.
