Part of college fashion shoot. We’ve recreated the morning ‘after’ atmosphere: magnificent body with nothing but men’s shirt, mixed with happy, fresh and lazy Sunday morning.
Location: Morningside, Edinburgh.
Third picture gives more of a ‘afternoon soft rug and fire place’ feel.

It was a fun shoot until weather decided we need to go home -it started to rain.
Big thanks goes to amazing assistants.

Tattoos are based on Lord of the Rings and Star Wars universes and symbolics.
One side of the armor is medieval, other – bio-mechanic. Amazing stuff.

Tarl wants to go into acting/modeling business, and he needed some portfolio pictures.
Tarl loved those ones and I have to admit – I also like them.
Pictures, like his tattoos are a statement. Strong, but not too heavy.
You can see what 15 years of kendo and gym did to his body – he should be in some gym/active body advertisements.


Panels, panels, panels. Dean Collins style sexy panels.

Personal project is landing here. It was a shoot with Tarl, kenshi [swordsman] from Australia. He’s been practicing kendo for more than 15 years.
Personally, I love the outfit, sorry… armor. So full of details, awesome craftsmanship.
Fun shoot I have to say. Being skilled kenshi and Star Wars fan- Tarl was pulling some hilarious stuff. More shoots like this please!
Soon, Tarl’s portraits are coming.

Light: two bowens heads either side, some reflector fill. On B/W picture heads are really close, thus the contrast.

College assignment which was pain in the back side have turned into quite good pictures.

Have to say: golf was the hardest to shoot- can’t be too close, walk or make noise when they swing.
And believe me – even with 3 frames per second you cant catch club in mid-air. I think it’s time for a camera upgrade.

Light:all natural. Only journalism level of Photoshop [levels, curves, cropping]

Again!


Amazing shoot! North Berwick at dusk is just magical. We went there with certain pictures in heads. It’s bad to visualize some may say. But this time- it was a huge success.
Sunset is not something you can control. With no time to waste, my slow driving is the reason, we’ve just fired away. Poses, angles, light- just worked. Sweet. Hope to have more shoots like this one. Big thanks to Michael for astonishing modelling Maria for assisting.


Data: f4.0, iso 200, 24mm, 1/250s | Light: main: two strobes on 1/4 power [recycle time needed] shoot through 12in diffuser, back: sun at sunset.
Note: We’ve had six hands on this shoot- and an extra pair will be needed in the future – reflector to bounce strobes on shadow side would be ideal.

Czarno -czarni and Big Cyc was playing for The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity in Edinburgh in december last year.
Good concert with a lot of positive energy. Glad to be there, especially when you have all access  pass.

They are a couple full of positive energy and happiness.
Photographing their wedding was a true pleasure. I was doing the reportage bit, while Paul did classic photos.


Light:1st- flash fill, 3rd- flash bounced off white ceiling.
