Company Employees Land Starring Roles with...

-

It was another corporate assignment for a company I have worked with a few times before in San Francisco. And as well as carrying out photoshoots with them to capture the "vibe" of working on their team, and the "fun" of working in their offices, I also do their profile and personality portraits for all their uses.


I packed my usual kit for this work; camera, lights, stands, seamless paper, reflectors, and modifiers and most importantly, a large helping of Roijoy!

The session started out with all the shotlist items given full attention - and then we pulled out the Roijoy, and finished up with what you see here…

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 . If you'd like to see my range of photography subjects and styles, browse  here .

There must be a way out of all of this

2020 just keeps on doling out more twists to each story. A lot of people now wonder if there is anyway out of the wormhole we all seem to be existing in. This is a straight forward shot of the vehicle on one of the local dirt roads with marshland on the right side of the scene. I stood on a ladder and took a selfie using the self timer function and cut out the image. Next I illustrated the ladder digitally and placed it into the main image. Once I was happy with the ladder position, I positioned the selfie cut-out onto the ladder and sized it down to a scale that I felt worked for the composition. Once I was happy, I also added shadows and highlights to the ladder to help with the illusion. I did further work blending the ladder where it appears to enter the clouds. With all of this in place, I went ahead and digitally created the 'This Way Out' sign and blended it into the composition. Finally I did some overall toning to the image. Main Image Location: Sit

Everything has consequences

Individual ideas, theories, advice, solutions, and more are all heavily amplified with easy access to social media. Whether it's the perceived anonymity, or the buffer of non face-to-face confrontation, many people are able to speak as experts dismissing any arguments that counter their own viewpoints. So who's wrong? Who's right? Who knows. But whatever the approach or proffered solution, there will be consequences. The main image here is a self portrait as I balance on a stool. I added some ants taken from an older photo and then drew the strings that would suspend me once the stool had been taken out of the picture. After finding someone to model for me, I took a quick shot of a hand holding a pair of scissors. The hand and scissors are cut out and the retouched into the main image. Adding shadows and toning complete the image. Main Image Location: Stann Creek, Belize. Camera: Nikon DSLR, crop frame. F number: f/8 Focal length 27mm APS lens Exposu
