Milk Bath

My first attempt at a milk bath shoot. This was done in the worlds smallest bathroom on the Gold Coast in Queensland over Supanova weekend in 2017.I used Photoshop to remove the bath edges to make it an infinite background and once we had the three body isolated parts I was able to move them to a mo...

Cropping

After many revisits on details and colour treatment I think I got this image close to what I wanted. Now I think I might crop it to portrait as I think having a hint at the boat in the background works better than the full landscape version.Do you guys have a preference?

Behind the Scenes - Lady Mechanika

This shot was taken at the 2015 Steampunk Festival in the same railcar I used this year. I just recently found this behind the scenes shot which looks like it lines up perfectly with the image above. You can see the difference in gear to, a single speedlite in a softbox and a reflector.

Behind the Scenes with Yaya

Because I wanted to move around the gardens with relative easy I used a fairly light setup which I'm liking more and more, the Jinbei Mars 3 just on a hand held monopole, the battery pack is on a shoulder strap so light is very flexible and easy to move (if you have a willing lightstand, thank y...
