I’m back in the studio, this time with model Jerusha. The theme for this series was again, an abstract sci-fi Blade Runner warrior theme, using three lights, and of course, a video projector as the background. For the “How To” […]

And now for something completely different. 🙂 As you can see by my shooting style, I rarely shoot full-length images, hardly ever stop motion, and often opt for portraits and headshots that focus on the model’s eyes. However, for this […]
Had another shoot with model Elena Rose. This time our objective was to do a hypercolor series with colored gels, for a futuristic femme fatale look. By “hypercolor”, this means a low light environment where the colored gels on the […]
