I have been trying to get this post finished since Wednesday but so many things keep coming up that had to be done. This week I was out and about with Linda and Matthias joined me as co-Photographer.
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.

First of I have to thanks Malysal for jumping in last minute and modelling as my original couldn’t make it. My co-photographer this week was Dennis , it was cool to shoot with a fellow Alpha user.

Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico, where it is a national holiday, and all banks are closed. The celebration takes place on November 1 and 2, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honouring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favourite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. They also leave possessions of the deceased.

But funny enough my fave photo from the evening was not one I was planning.
A few weeks ago I saw several photos of a model simply warped in material an light with only one key light. The simplicity of it really appealed to my so I decided to do something similar. Alica and I had planed to shoot together last year but due to complications it unfortunately never happened, so I took this opportunity to catch up.
Last month Tom started to get the lightGIANTS friday night shoots back into motion. Local band “Palm Valley” needed new photos after recently changeing their line up, so it was perfect timing.
