Personalizing my bags
When one of my zipper pull broke, I thought, “well, that’s not a big deal. I will just add some paracord to replace it”. I like the saying from Mythbusters: “If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing”, so just adding paracord was not an option. I wanted to personalize my pull and add...
 
Sword on the Wall
I have been longing for a long sword for a long time, just to display it on my wall. I will be using it as a prop in some photoshoots too. Cross-guard of the sword has two loops in it, so I thought I could use towel hooks to hang it on the wall. It...
 
Drawer
We got rid of the old bookshelf which was mainly made from chipboard, but there were some birch wood and drawer bottoms to save. As a summer project, I thought that I make a drawer for my current desk. I wanted to use salvaged material as much as possible. All 3D printed parts can be...
 
Cable Relief – laptop
I already have cable relief for the camera and wanted to do something similar for the laptop.
 
From the Darkness I will Rise
I’m planning a new series now that summer is ending. Alongside that, I have some summer projects still going on. To get a break, I just wanted to take some photographs to get to the back of the camera.

Summer portraits
Idea was to take summer portraits. I think I would need much more practise to take happy and colourful images. It’s just not my cup of tea.

Freddy Portraits
I had couple of more images left from the photoshoot with my son. One, two, Freddy’s coming for you..
 
Welcome to my dream world
This was a last minute idea when I was moving the chair out of the way. Why not not use it in one of the images to get some variety.
 
Freddy vs Jason
I first bought the Freddy Krueger glove to put it on the shelve. Then I thought that why not make a photo shoot out of it. To make an outfit complete, I needed to buy a couple of more things like the mask and the iconic shirt. My son promised to be Freddy, and I...
 
Cable Relief v2
I broke the remote control port from my D800 years ago. For D850, I wanted a cable relief to keep my ports intact. For the GFX-50s, I wanted something similar too. It has the battery compartment in a weird place, and the only L-plate I could find that allows easy battery change was Arca-Swiss Classic...

Intro Video
I wanted to add an intro video to my youtube channel and therefore played with my photos in DaVinci resolve. It’s a very capable program which also means not the easiest one. I took my time and learned a lot more about making the animations, speed ramps, etc. and now have a couple of new...

Mono portraits
I rarely do mono images, but these one-light portraits worked nicely in black and white. These images were quite ready from the camera, which is rare for me. I usually have much more layers in photoshop, but this was a nice change.
 
Katana Triptych
We took quite a lot of poses with the katana sword. In photoshop, I started to think about manga comics and decided to try something similar visually. I ended up doing this triptych with three different poses from the shoot.
