Now that I have the meat cleaver and halloween is coming I though I make couple of horror images. It felt really good to make a) self portraits and b) horror images in a long time.
I tried to find used meat cleaver online for photography prop but could not find that look good to me. I decided to make a fake one from leftover plexiglass and old oak door sill. You can find the process below in slideshow and video form.
We did a fantasy/scifi themed photoshoot. I wanted to test some photoshop painted “light” backgrounds for couple of these. For the “Loki: Darkness” I painted (scifi) night background. Moon is real. I photographed it from our balcony years ago. Oh and the Tesseract was hand painted too in photoshop (little bit in Inkscape too).
DIY GOBO HOLDER I wanted a device that can throw light patterns onto a wall or a model. There are some commercially available but they are quite expensive and I this was only for occasional use. I thought that this is something that can be 3D printed. I bought Bowens mounting ring and cheap macro...
It was a more sunny day than the weather forecast had promised. Luckily the forest had a lot of spruce trees that provided a lot of shadows. That forest is really close to where I live and near the Kuopio center too. It is nice to live near this kind of place. Those are ideal...
Juho asked if I could take couple of portraits in the same style as my son was photographed for his birthday. Well yes I can…
My son wanted some portraits for his birthday. We did couple of styles, one business like setup and one a bit more relaxed setup…
Setups and edit from 2020 1st Half.
More images from “portrait sunday”. I just had to make couple with my usual style too. It just feels like coming home…
Weather is getting vastly better so these images are getting ready more slowly. I wanted to test new things so some edits are a bit different than my usual style.
We held a portrait Sunday with my wife. I had several files in the ideas folder for portraits and took a bunch of them under closer look. One of the ideas was to make couple of images for the “Today’s Heroes” theme. I’m pretty sure there are couple of ideas more that will end up...
For the next series I need a prop coffin. Since a real size coffin would be expensive to make and hard to store, I made it from xps foam in 1:6 scale (action figures). Although a real size coffin in the backyard might have been a great conversation starter… Time will tell if this works...
While thinking ideas for the next (self-portrait) series I wanted to take couple of photos for the camera club theme of the month. I haven’t done that for a while. Now that we all are stuck at home I decided to test couple of still life images. There are plenty of things that you can...
I’m fifty years old so I made a simple portrait for the birthday. Half a century, what the fuck?
Couple of more infrared images from the summer.
Part 2 of the Joker images. Some ideas changed in the editing stage so there are some drastic crops and background changes.
Again in the back corridors of camera club studio. This time with a Joker shoot. I just love these surroundings for this kind of shoots.
I got my first “real” camera ten years ago and started to get this thing called photography more seriously. I made one image to celebrate this ten year journey. I could never have imagined even in my dreams where this would lead me.
