Setups and edits from 2021 2nd Half.
I wanted to stamp custom logos to leather. I needed it for hobby use, so metal stamps are out of the question. I 3D printed one for a test and, those seem to work very well. They are fast and easy to make too. I made a coaster with my logo for myself. The wallet...
I bought this red beanie, and I thought it might pop out in a portrait. I had the light set up ready for the award portrait, so it was easy to test it out. At First, I thought that I will only make one image, but when I was selecting the one I saw these...
We were taking a new passport photo and I took a portrait with the same setup. With a creative editing it worked surprisingly good.
New awards and honours for Kuopio Camera Club. I took this portrait for Seppo winning the best of show challenge cup in AFCC annual theme competition. I received NFFF NSMiF/D1 honour which were given in the same opening ceremony of the theme competition. One more honourable mention and two more honours were also received by...
I needed a mask display stand for my Freddy Krueger latex mask from Trick or Treat Studios. I ended up making this super cheap DIY stand that was fast to make. You only need some leftover wood, a screw, an empty soda bottle and a black sock (in my case a one without a pair).
I looked at this staircase already the last time, but now I had an idea for it. I think placing the flash upstairs worked really well in this case.
This long bench was still there and still in one piece. I took five exposures to get some exorcist vibes to the image.
Last-minute idea from Johanna before leaving the school. Flash with a long exposure (1.0s) to get this eerie feeling to the image.
All windows have been broken for a long time. Some have still some pieces attached and look nice with the strobe.
Old crapper in the house across the yard. Not sure if this is teachers crapper. There was also one with multiple holes behind the rightmost door, probably for the pupils.
The schoolyard is now quite full of vegetation. Good for some autumn shots.
Horror-themed photoshoot for Halloween. This is the same abandoned school as in Black Widow photos. I will be posting several of these before Halloween.
I wanted to make something colourful for the “black” theme. The original idea came from the painting “The Son of Man” by René Magritte. I decided to make something similar for myself. I needed colourful fruit, and I found oranges in the kitchen. I used the same colour for the background.
I was assisting Merja and Rowenna Fox in their shoot. During the shoot, I had an opportunity to take a couple of frames myself. From the props we had in hand, I selected this raven. It had an unpleasant smell but looked good in the image.
A bit more photoshop intensive image. It’s been a while since I have done these crazy humour images. Nice to do this kind of stuff too. It’s kind of a counterbalance for the darker images I usually do.
The monthly theme in the local camera club is humour. I thought I could do a couple of images to it. To get creative juices flowing after The Dark Room series and summer break. I made the models from simple accessories. The school desk took some time, and I decided to only make one and...
Setups and edits from 2021 1st Half.
This idea is from a drawing from one of my favourite artist Hugleikur Dagsson. And the idea for the drawing comes from Depeche Mode song Personal Jesus so it kind of goes with the musical theme of this series. This is the last image for this series at least for now. I might continue it...
I got this idea from a friend. I immediately checked the net for used boxing gloves and found these really nice looking old ones for a nice price. The poster was designed in photoshop and added later. I already had that in mind when shooting, so I had the image ready. The old paper texture...
