Pirate Pictures delivered.

So the story of my life at the moment is this set of pictures I originally shot as a test shoot for myself. The pictures turned out great, I am really happy with the end result, and I have gotten great feedback about them from all parties involved. This is awesome.

I delivered a copy of lo-res images to 4SOUND, the company that loaned me the guitars. They are currently being discussed as part of a national print advertising campaign. That would be amazing! I'm totally not expecting it, but hey, if it comes right I will be over the moon.

Couple things I noticed that I could improve on and things I learned through this shoot. Need to watch out on cropping in camera. I guess this will be a bit easier with umm.... *cough* MY NEW 5D Mk 2 *cough*
Yeah.  I bought one. I will post some shots I have taken with it later tomorrow. But it is something I need to watch out for regardless of shooting crop or full-frame. Really super excited to shoot that camera!

Otherwise, here are the remainder of the shots from my pirate-ish rocking shoot with Pia and Kristine. Hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed shooting them. N

BOOM! Wordup interfriends!?

So here is a little taste of the shoot I just had on Sunday. Im busy working on a bunch more images that I cant really put out right now, but they are just as if not cooler than these. I was trying a new technique with regard to my editing, and I spent an hour finally deciding on whether I wanted to go B+W on some of them, or keep the rad colour in some of them.... I will show the B+W ones at a later stage.

Feedback on my edit would be cool, little uncertain whether I botched it. I like it and think I managed to keep some of the texture I wanted initially with relation to the depth of field I shot. Actually!!! Ill post the original, the B+W and the final one I chose, and then you can make up your own mind.

Got alot of cool ideas for some more editorial styled shoots over the next while, Im getting back in the zone. Feels good.

An after thought here. I just saw my first episode of Californication. I really liked it! But I wonder what Gilian Anderson thinks about Mulders new character? Think about it? I grew up knowing David Duchovny from none other than X-Files, but Californication was crazy in comparison. Can you really compare them though?

Anyway. Enjoy the pics. N

First Mate and the Captain, Kristine and Pia.
