Using different backgrounds for models.
The usual set up difference is I have my lights up pointing down at the subject. I noticed the difference in post work that it lights up the side more and give it a more gritty look that I like, I also taking closer body shots of my athletes now to give it more of a focus on them then the background.
So check it out and tell me what you think.
Here’s a image I did for a family a little while back, its a composite image, I had to change it three times before they actually like it, this shoot was plan well ahead, until we actually got there and then everything went out the window.
I won’t go into much details, but after all that it work out fine. I share some more later but check this one out.
Hey people I hope you guys are having a great and productive day. I must say I’m sorry to have taken so long again to not have this page updated. But I’m here now so get over it lol….
Here’s an image I did with the lovely Sarah recently, decided to use a different background compare to all my other bikini images which are done on beaches.
This time I wanted to give that arty gritty look and also a different edge to my work.
Had two lights for this shoot one light on a 45 degree angle on her left side and one slightly behind her on the right side, I must mention the left light I was shooting through an umbrella and the right one a plain strobe to give a more dynamic light.
I did the usual Photoshop enhancement on the image and finish it off with a Topaz filter if you don’t have it you should get it asap its awesome.
If you have any questions about my shoot or my post work please don’t hesitate to comment, thanks.
Here’s the shot I hope you guys like it.

Hi there people just wanted to share two of my recent images I created and posted online, both work took me at least 3 hours to complete and I’m quite happy how they turn out.
So check it out and see what you think all comments bad or good are welcome thank you.
Hi there…ok I’m a star wars fan not a fanatic but properly seen the first trilogy a dozen times each and for me that’s a record.
I thought I take these separate images of the stormtroopers and add then together with a background similar to a desert…actually I think it is a desert my bad sorry.
I love the characters on the movie and how it properly effected my life with the fascination of space and creativity.
The image took me nearly 3 hours to complete not my best work of course because of the lighting but to me its kinda cool.
I was thinking of getting rid of the sky and put a galaxy of planets up there but decided that it make the image too busy and I wanted the focus to be on the troopers.
Well I hope you like it and comments are welcome good or bad.
Bye now.
Hey there I apologize for not getting this post up a day later than my previous one, I had some internal problems I needed sorted out.
Ok finished with the apology let’s get with the reason I’m posting at the moment. Here’s the original images and the finished image…pretty good right lol…yep blowing my own trumpet as usual.
I used Photoshop and the tools I used and filters were, high pass, desaturation, hue, color mode, overlay mode, channel adjustment, photo filter etc.
Patient is another key to creating an image like this, you also have to give it a pop look too. Also another secret to composite images is the lighting and selection if these are done right then you won’t have a problem.
If you have any questions about any of my images please feel free to contact me and I ‘ll be happy to reply.
Here’s the image:
