CRAFT-WERK: March 2012
http://craft-werk.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Wake up to Yellow. Now, just to give you a bit of context: The house I live in is over 200 years old. Hence it would not have had a bathroom/toilet originally. The bathroom was tacked onto the house about 110 years ago, I reckon. It sits on top of a three-storey extension at the back of our house. The sanitaryware is original! And it has a funny little dome that illuminates it from above (just about visible in the image above). Let's slowly turn to the left from the sink to the b...

More Antique Portraiture | 2picsaweek
https://2picsaweek.wordpress.com/2014/05/20/more-antique-portraiture
Interpreting the world – two pictures a week. Bear with me. There’s a number of portraiture shots coming up over the next weeks. There was just too much going on with Locks and Lashes. Recently *ggg*. They keep me shooting – which is great, btw. I have always been fascinated by the Hollywood Glamour style of photography. The use of light – or rather shade! Not that I come close to his work, but it’s certainly an inspiration, and it is fun to play with light and shadow. Here is my take on it:. May 20, 2014.

Interpreting the world – two pictures a week. Location, Location, Location. Another weekend, another shoot for Locks and Lashes. Sonja is all set, grabs her remote release, her speedlite, the portable soft-box, a tripod and off she goes through the rain. She is enthusiastically greeted at the door of the shooting venue. “Can we shoot outside, you think? Has the rain stopped? Those are my monikers, no guarantee that that is what those different looks really meant to convey. Here is the latter:. Within a r...

Interpreting the world – two pictures a week. I shoot people. Then I take them into dark rooms and blow them up. Impromptu is often the best. A beautiful summer evening. 23 degrees at 8pm. No. Obligations. We get a bag of chips and have dinner at the beach. A walk across the ripples. The sun is beginning to set. We pass through the shadow of the big chimneys. All I have is my camera phone. What I get is this. This entry was posted in iphone. June 18, 2014. What do you think about radical crops? 8221; It ...

Shooting Music | 2picsaweek
https://2picsaweek.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/shooting-music
Interpreting the world – two pictures a week. Are a Dublin-based band and I was at their gig in The Workmen’s Club to try and capture some impression. Now, shooting in clubs is ridiculously hard (I think). You are dealing with a dimly lit which requires either strong flash or high ISO. Strong flash irritates musicians and audience. High ISO inevitably results in grainy, fuzzy imagery. Hmph. But what else can you do? Maybe I am too hard on myself, I’ll show them another time. The rest is silence. You are ...

Back to Sepia | 2picsaweek
https://2picsaweek.wordpress.com/2014/06/01/back-to-sepia
Interpreting the world – two pictures a week. More portraiture, again from the 1920s shoot with Locks and Lashes. I tried a different antique-ing approach here – sepia. Certainly works better for portfolio purposes – at least we get an idea of what the make-up looks like. I guess we’ll be back to neutral backdrops next time ’round.

Interpreting the world – two pictures a week. The recent post on Locks and Lashes’ Facebook page. Has finally shocked me into action again. So much for all my good intentions and New Year’s resolutions of posting more regularly. It’s not that I haven’t been photographing. I have. And I like the stuff that I produce. I am actually more annoyed with some technical blogging snags that keep me from posting more regularly. But well. You know which one I am thinking about. This entry was posted in photography.

Interpreting the world – two pictures a week. What do you think about radical crops? That picture obviously didn’t start out like this. But I think it is visually much more interesting like this. (Would I say the same if it contained my favourite movie boyfriend in it? Or is extreme cropping bad? This entry was posted in beauty photography. June 3, 2014. Summer, Impromptu →.
