Winter in June

-
Yes you've got it. The model's name is Winter and the photoshoot took place in June. It was a studio shoot with various lighting set-ups.

Winter was great to work with and we were able to chit chat while we worked together.

She's still young in the business and is a superbly smart lady. We talked a little about some of the plans she has for her life, and if I had such clear direction as she has when I was her age, I'd probably be... well, who knows.

Anyway, I get the sense that Winter is going to quickly become a rising star in any one of the directions she given herself the flexibility to take!

Who can say, maybe I'll get to work with Winter again in the autumn, or in the winter even...

Size Matters

Viewing prints digitally on a screen can be enjoyable but viewing a physical print adds to the experience. And when that's the case, sometimes bigger is better. I have a whole range of prints that I currently print onto canvas and have them available for sale. I’ve also been receiving order for larger format prints. My largest so far included 2 prints that are 9 feet by 3.5 feet each in size. These larger canvases were for 2 bedrooms in a resort.  The majority of my work is currently Belize based. The canvas prints are printed for me in Belize City and the wooden frames are made to custom sizes by  Kelvin  Baizar   in Belmopan. (Kelvin is also an accomplished artist so check out his work). Finally I mount and stretch the canvases myself. I have a searchable collection of my Belize photography and you can see my photos  here .

Creating May The Fourth

Emma called me, "Hey, I have this really cool idea for a shot for May the 4th. I'm dressed in motorcycle gear but I'm riding an Eopie ". Well it sounded a little off the wall so how could I not say yes! Emma owns and runs Motorbike Rentals & Alternative Adventures - Hopkins, Belize , and I often collaborate with her on photoshoots. Emma would be the model — not a problem. The shoot would be on a beach location — not a problem. And we need a full-sized Eopie from Star Wars — hmm. After scouring the inter-webs we found that good old eBay had a supply of the creatures, but they were only 3 inches tall. If you've worked with me on anything creative you'll know immediately that size really doesn't matter. What was concerning though was getting the Eopie delivered to Belize in time for me to shoot it and have the image ready to go live on May 4th. Again, Emma reached out through her business connections and found someone who would be in Belize on May 1st, a

AI AI, Oh!

Whenever I’m asked to do a photoshoot with any sort of complexity, I like to produce a visual to give the client some idea of where my head is going. Sometimes I sketch the visuals with markers onto paper, other times I will draw and paint electronically on my computer. And at other times I’ll do a combination of photos and digital drawing to create the visuals. A couple of days ago, Adobe put up a Beta version of ©Photoshop that has an AI engine at the heart of the release. So I signed up and downloaded it today and played around with it for a while. It’s still in Beta but really amazing and the potential is undeniable. In its current beta release it doesn’t handle large high resolution images but for day to day visuals and for some social media need or smaller hi-res images it is usable. To give you an idea of what the AI part of the software can currently deliver, I’ve included this image that I made in less than ten minutes. To create this, I started with a blank workspace on my
