For the final image from this shoot, I chose to go with a black and white portrait. I wanted to try something a bit more traditional and classic, in contrast to the more stylized and artistic portraits we had done earlier. Despite the change in approach, I wanted to make sure that the darkness and...
This leather apron was originally intended for grilling, but it also worked well as a welder’s apron, giving off some intense “welder from hell” vibes. I’ve used these welder glasses before, and they work great with a beard. With just these two simple props, I was able to create a really interesting, creative, and gritty...
I’ve had this leather jacket for a while, but I haven’t worn it in a long time. I’m glad I didn’t get rid of it, because it ended up being perfect for this pilot-themed image.

The second thing I tested was the automatic eye detection for self-portraits. It worked well in smaller apertures, but it...

We had some trouble finding the props but we managed to get theatrical axe and some leather/fur for ’not so historically accurate’ viking outfit. Axe was more from the knights era but I modified it in photoshop and fur was in small pieces which were photographed on...

I used radio remote and exposures where around 1/4s. This was enough to add light to left cheek with a yellow...
