Rebecca

Case 632

Think I was on acid when I thought of this idea...






My latest uni work. "Rebecca".
Thoughts?

Oops!





I think this is actually the oldest photo in my portfolio and one of my favourites.  It's probably the one photo I've never given up on and burned and dodged to the end of my core to get it perfect, think I ended up scratching my neg in my rage and haste. 

It's my mum's hand holding a photo of my Grandpa from back when he was in the War.

Grandpa


Bored of black and white yet? Sorry, it gets to this point in my portfolio when I start to worry that it's all I do but if you're good at soemthing why stop?
Your thoughts....

The H&M Boy





Dane is a friend of Calum's.  I mocked up this image with the H&M logo because of the style and showed him it, it was a good laugh doing this shoot and everyone loved this photo.  What I like msot about it is that he actually does come out of the background and it was something I had always struggled with in the studio.
Feedback?

Oh Bugger!





This photo will haunt me until I die because Charlie was a really hard guy to work with, gorgeous and naturally sexy but once you tell him that and put a camera infront of him you've lost him!  This was a test shot and I think, was originally in colour but the pose was working so well, I had to play with it and see what I could bring out of it.  Unluckily, it was the one photo that he got into character and I cast a big ugly shadow across his head and shoulder.  I used Photoshop levels and auto corrects as much as I could but I lost too much detail in his left arm in the end.
When it came to the final shoot - on 5x4 I might add, he retreated back into his shell again and I ended up using this as my final piece even though technically it's so bad.
