Monster Lisa Part I …..

A while back Lisa G was in the studio again, unfortunately with the wedding season coming to an end I didn’t get to finish the photos in time for Halloween like I originally planed.  Also I took way to many photos as her friends joined in the fun so I have cut this blog in 1/2. Nominally when some one leaves the studio the photos are already 80% finished and I simply have to develop the raw data, but as my Monday project I need more ideas and do a lot more post production so they every shoot doesn’t look the same.

Alice Alabaster

This shoot posed a whole new range of problems….. Miss Alabaster saw a photo of me taken with a smart-phone that had one of those retro style camera apps, e.g “Hipstermatic”, “Retro-camera” etc. And wanted to do a shoot where her styling fitted to an 80’s look and the final images looked like they were faded old photos.

Return of Lord Vader

Not long ago in a galaxy not so far away,  I had the chance to photograph one of the “501 German Garrison” Darth Vaders. That costume was a 100% true remake of the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Vader costume. The time was the costume was a 100% accurate version of Darth Vader in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. To be honest I was kind of excited as a big Star Wars fan, a new hope was the first film I ever saw at the cinema as a kid. I also wanted to time this shoot for Star Wars celebration this weekend

Light and Dance painting….

I have seen several long exposure photos of dancers in the studio lately. They fascinated me with their ghostly shapes, and fluid movement. But I always found that something was missing it needed a bit of a kick. My concept was simple to add light painting into the dancers movements.

Luckily social networks allow ideas to come together, both of my associates for this shoot are people that I may have never meet otherwise. I have spoken with Piotr from B.I.K Performances a few times about different projects, but this was the first time our calendars matched. He basically danced 2 hours straight so a special thank you for such a great job.  Like every Monday I shoot with another local photographer, my original guest had to work longer but Micha was able to drop what he was doing and join the shoot.

Tank Girl…..

This weeks project shoot was with Apocalipstick…  Based around the legendary comic character Tank Girl, she drives a tank which is also her home. She undertakes a series of missions for a nebulous organisation before making a serious mistake and being declared an outlaw for her sexual inclinations and her substance abuse. The comic centres on her misadventures with her boyfriend, Booga, a mutant kangaroo. The comic’s style was heavily influenced by punk visual art, and strips were frequently deeply disorganised, anarchic, absurdist, and psychedelic. The strip features various elements with origins in surrealist techniques, fanzines, collage,cut-up technique, stream of consciousness, and meta-fiction, with very little regard or interest for conventional plot or committed narrative.
