Falling Asleep On The Job

Image
Recently I had a newborn shoot to do. In addition to some more conventional shots I also did a few fun shots. So that everyone understood what I was aiming for I drew a visual to show to the parents. Once I had the green light it was time to get my props organised. I bought a toy toolkit. The plastic construction, being much lighter and not having any truly sharp edges, would be easier to manage in case the infant moved around while in contact with the props. The pink construction hat and fluffy blanket was supplied by the parents. Now the only thing needed were miniature concrete sacks. I cut up one of my old white tee shirts and then sewed six small pouch pockets. Stretching each completed pouch flat, I was able to hand draw a simple logo onto the front of each one. When the ‘sacks’ were ready, I filled them with cotton wool before closing the open ends. Next I prepared the set and arranged the lighting for the scene. I shot this on a tabletop using a white seamless photography backd

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 .
