Something from the archives!
Last summer I visited my girlfriend at her cabin, and her parents put us to work maintaining the paint. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and we were given some charming old rags to work in. While we were painting I realised we had a location, props and styling, so as soon as we were done I dug out the single flash strobe I had brought for just such an occasion and combined it with the sunlight for some really harsh, nasty lighting.
As you can see I also took the opportunity to experiment with some grungey texture overlays. Suffice to say that that particular “look” has not been revisited since.

The portraits here were shot amongst many others for the Jungle Book poster posted here. But I really liked the expressions I got from these two, and so a while later as I was looking to practice some compositing (Yay!) I dug them out and superimposed them over a pair of winter landscapes I had. This was my first go at using channel selections in photoshop, and at the time I was very pleased.
They still hold up allright, but this was before I had the life changing experience of a workshop with Natalia Tafarell, so basically, I didn’t know a-nothing.
Anyway. I hope you like them!
A dear friend of mine agreed to pose for me while we were having a swim/picnic in Oslo. The texture of the rocks there is quite cool, although not too comfortable to sit on I imagine.
I wanted a kitschy, dreamlike colouring, and went with orange, turquoise and a hint of purple.
And another one.
For this one I was a bit sloppy with the shooting. Neither Photoshop nor Autopano would return a usable image, so I decided to stitch it manually. If you don’t see any odd seams then I don’t either.
Posed and shot in about five minutes time in between orchestra rehearsals. The girl was a natural and a great sport.
Two brenizer-effect images I made this summer. It’s quite an interesting technique, even if it is a little unpredictable.
