    Hrmm... Another set of self-portraits. I hope that people won't think I'm self-obsessed or something. It's just that it's quite hard to find a model who would sit there and experiment with random lighting ideas that I come up with at 3am in the morni...

  • Vibrating Strings

    Posted on Friday July 31st, 2009 at 01:46 in music, Sydney, studio, strobist

    How do you light a subject in this way AND show motion blur at the same time? It is impossible (well, I think it is anyway with my lack of lighting gear). So this photo was actually 8 images combined together to mimic the movements of the strings.I c...

    Haven't updated in what seems like months, I wonder if anyone still drops by. Let me know if you still do =/This is the result of that "mysterious" project I was doing for the past week. I am not sure if it is something original or not as I haven't b...

  • Rings

    Posted on Friday December 12th, 2008 at 09:46 in studio, strobist

    Second addition to the set started from yesterday's photos.Flash from camera right bounced from the ceiling. Used white paper for background. White paper was also used to surround the rings to reduce reflections. The black reflection was left on the ...

    Quick studio-quality photo for today.Made with a small piece of black cardboard as a backdrop and using one strobe with snoot from camera right. I wasn't very happy with the highlights on the Nikon sign and how the lens turned out, but its my first t...
