Ha ha ha... I want to try some low key but just haven't had the time. Really like the way you capture yourself in this one. You look like your tag namesake!
Nice. I have recently purchased a couple of ND filters, but haven't found the ideal location for them yet.
Ya like that, huh? Can I interest you in a watch? This one doesn't send love hearts to anyone though.

Beautiful (as ever). Glad you're back. I missed the weekly dose of Slovenia...

Technically that is really good. I like the dark sinister look... I mean no offence but I would never buy a watch from you....
Do you use a professional studio setup for these? or is it more affordable for someone doing it as a hobby?
Quite different, the effect works well I like the energy. Great contrast between the warm and cool colours too great job
Mmm loverly P, the leading of the flowers into the centre is perfect! I look forward to seeing more
Cheers mate!
First shoot with the new camera by moonlight:
A7 - 30s - f/5.6ish - ISO800 - 28 mm
Genius!
Beautiful... and full of movement...
Little Moreton Hall: if there's a finer house in England then I don't know about it...

Why? Because my watch doesn't have fancy heart sending technology? How rude.
I was lucky enough to find some empty space above my place of business, it's not a 'professional studio' by any means, but it gets the job done and is a great place to store my massive amount of gear.
Plus, keeping in mind the people I'm shooting aren't models, they seem suitably impressed when they see the setup. Well, enough to think I appear to know what I'm doing.
Lights, light modifiers, backgrounds, etc aren't cheap, but I'm using multiple speedlights and a couple of cheap ass eBay continuous lights opposed to studio lighting for the moment and that keeps costs down a lot.

No. You just look like a scary bloke in that shot.
I am really interested in trying to setup a back drop and some cheap ass lighting from eBay to try this but the only suitable space I have is my garage and it us packed to the gills with girls bikes trikes tents prams and scooters etc...
I intend to clear out soon and thin down their collection of pink plastic Barbie and Peppa Pig trinkets. Then I can have a mess about.
This is encouraging thanks mate.
And... If they aren't models, are they just family and friends? His do you get them to pose?
Me, scary? Nargh...I'm a pussycat.No. You just look like a scary bloke in that shot.

Making up a small studio is easy enough. Get a backdrop (cheap ass eBay will do), a lens with the appropriate focal length or the Photoshop skills to fix up where you overshot the background.
With the cheap assed eBay lights...yeah, be prepared to be disappointed with them a bit.
They're just not very good. I only use them to highlight particular areas if I run out of speedlights. They just don't pack enough power for key lighting and the build quality, well...terrible.
The faux models? I only use Facebook for two things. Talking to friends and pimping my photos. I use it as a casting agency.
1. Take photos of one person, post it on Facebook.
2. Watch the 'likes' and 'friend' requests roll in.
3. Does this 'friend' look like someone I can photograph or help publicise my work?
4. If 'yes'. Add friend.
5. Rinse and repeat.
The posing? Patience and communication.
Another one from Malvern today. New material this weekend I promise.
