After the Sun

Over the last few weeks I have held off updating my blog because it always seemed that I was just a week away from a new shoot and having new photos to share. Unfortunately I have been plagued with model cancellations.

So this week's photo is another from my catalog. The model is Dave Clark.

This photo is available as an inexpensive print on Fine Art America from my photo gallery and has been getting a lot of views there.

In case you are interested in purchasing a glicee print or a canvas print of this photo or any of the others at Fine Art America, the link to my gallery is

Morning

This image of model Morgen Red is from a shoot several years ago, rescanned from the negative and toned. Over the last few weeks I have been reviewing images from prior shoots and reworking them to improve the originals.

It's been a gratifying process. I am discovering that some of my preference for my later work is due to better post production work on the latter work. When I start over with negatives or raw digital files and apply what I have learned over the years to my earlier work, often the results are surprising.

Martial Arts

This image of Chris was captured several years ago on black and white film on a Mamyia 645AF. It was shot in a rented studio with hot lights.
Chris is not as large as some of the other models I have worked with, but he is extraordinarily well-defined. He is also a martial artist. During the shoot we experimented with many martial arts movements and poses.

Crucified

This reworked image from a shoot some time ago is of a model named Marski. The negative was rescanned and the image was processed in Photoshop to create the Orton Effect, mentioned in other posts to this blog over the last view months.
