Thanks for all of the comments guys. To be honest I have only done a few of these in the past, this was another I did a while ago Have a go, that's what I did, things I kept in mind were direction and quality of light on background in relation to light hitting the subject, you can make...

Yeah they love them I set up my Safari in the living room with a large soft box shooting against a white wall. Took a half decent picture then went to town on the edit, I'll post up a few pointers later :) Cheers

Both my boys wanted to be The Joker this Halloween so I thought why not.... Bit of fun with a composite, not sure where I stand with the backgrounds (got them from a free wallpaper site so guess they are ok to use?) However its just a bit of fun, like dressing up :) what do you think?

Haven't posted for a while I had use of a studio for a day, I invited my friend to bring some of his historic "get up" and a weapon. There was no clear goal but it was good to try a few things out. After a few different lighting and processing techniques, Lee the Axe was born. A gentlemen by...

Thanks guys, this is the idea....get reaction! some interesting comments. Regarding the processing, I did try to put tear in but thats where my limited photoshop skills started to get in my way. the scar is fake the blood shot eyes I did manage to get right. The safety switch is a complete...

Maybe he doesn't actually want to commit suicide, maybe he is so out of it he doesn't actually know what he is doing, hence the poor aim. These are my own thoughts! Appreciate the comments, the distortion was intended, shot at 24mm FF to get a freaky effect as for the "glorification of gun...

Hello, looking for suggestions here please. I have been asked to take some photos of a number of music artists to promote them at the club they are signed up to. So the club are organising it and paying for it. The shoot hasn't taken place yet but a couple of the artists have already asked...

Glad you all like... We did a couple of cowboy pics as well... Almost like a wanted poster style.. Didn't have same impact as the insane knuckle fighter... Ha thanks for the comments

Thanks Dinners, yes the latter shots were later in the shoot, and I think this shows in the poses, he relaxed a lot more and really got into the swing of things, the first 2 were right at the beginning and it obviously shows..shoots can take while to kick off, even with close friends. Yeah I...

Just checked out your site Mick, love the Calendar collection...hilarious...its great to see people having fun with photography.....nice one!

love the effect, would the light flare on the saw work better if a similar colour to the sun flare...?? guess then the whole balance of the picture would have to change....just a thought, good work love it

agreed some diffusion would help...nice shot though, has some shape to it...keep playing with the direction of the light then look to introduce a second rim/hair light...keep having fun with it!

I took some photos of a friend who grew an impressive tash for Movember..a couple months later I got round to putting the finishing touches to them simple 1 light set up in my living room with some texture work in PS (my walls dont look like that) oh an extremely willing friend who was all to...
