Probably one of my favourite shots from last weekend. Grace, our model, has a fantastic ability to seem fragile and vulnerable (whilst being, as far as I can tell, nothing of the sort) and I was so pleased to have been able to capture that in pixels.
Bored in a hotel room in Norwich.
Random shot from my walk today, location scouting in the woods near my house.
The location turned out to be a bit of a bust; too boggy in this weather to be easily accessible with gear, but I took the opportunity to muck about with trying to get texture out of the surroundings using speedlights.
I quite like the painting-like look this lends to the tree bark. It’s straight out of the camera; no adjustments bar colour correction.
Strobist info: Lit from camera left with an SB-900 at 17mm with the dome diffuser, 1/4 power.
Haven’t shot any portraits or uploaded anything for a while, and it’s starting to itch.
Shot this ages ago, the night before the Bert Stephani workshop in London, mucking about with a two-light setup.
The rimlight is a bit too far forward to work properly - maybe it should’ve been gridded - but I like the feel of the image.
Shot in tungsten white balance, with a quarter-cut CTO on the main, which was a Vivtar 285HV through a shoot-through. Rimlight was another Vivitar, bare.
Death by 365 by Eric Nelson. Boy do I know how that feels.
Best Keep Calm and Carry On mashup ever?

I’m loving this site. It’s a great way to browse Flickr images without having to deal with the Flickr interface, which for pure, good old-fashioned browsing is a bit on the pants side and too full of distractions.
If you’ve half an hour to spare, check it out. You might find something you like.
