Dreaming in Lomo... Double Time!



























I just love Diana! Her vibrant colours, attention to detail (but only some of it - she's picky) and constant begging to be double exposed! She's a real charmer.

If you haven't gone Lomo... you don't know what you're missing!

Revisiting Old Photos

It seems like forever since I was in photography school, and looking back at work I did last year feels like I'm looking at someone else's work. It's amazing how a lot of us students evolved creatively throughout the year, and even more so in the past year since graduation. Still, though, there are times that I look at some images from school projects and I feel a sense of renewed inspiration. One of the things that I greatly improved on since finishing school is optimizing. I was pretty conservative when it came to optimizing my images before starting school. By the end of the year, I was all over the high contrast saturated look! Yum yum. So recently, as I was browsing through some old images, I rediscovered a fun photo session I had done with my friend Bev. At the time the optimizing hardly did anything to boost the photos, so I decided to re-optimize them, to bring out more pizzaz. So here they are, from my "Transformation" project, shot in 2007 and re-optimized in 2009!

Do you feel the love? Ahh, sigh.... my heart's been cross-processed!

Product photography - first shot








This is the beginning of my very first attempts at product photography, and I obviously need a little practice (nothing tones your lighting technique more than glass). Overall I think it went ok. Clean enough, but it lacks a little interest. The product is organic local hemp oil and I think my approach was too clinical to appeal to the sorts that might buy such products. I would appreciate any advice or criticism.
