Trying Something New

I had a flash of inspiration today and spent a surprising amount of time on something quite different from my normal efforts.

Do have a look, and let me know what you think.  ^_^

One of those shoots...

I try to work with the client's ideas but when they ask for something like <that other shoot I thought was a complete failure> I'm sort of at a loss.  I can't tell if it's working or not...

Fisheye Fun

Here's something a little different.  I've been using the fisheye lens a lot lately so I scraped together a bunch of my favourite shots and talked a bit about how much fun, and how much a pain...

Laurynn in the Studio

I've just added a gallery of photos featuring Laurynn, who was in the studio not long ago.  I picked a half dozen of my faves, plus her own selections, and she's pretty great.  Enjoy. &nb...

Your Humble Photographer

As recently requested, an image of your humble photographer, seen here under attack by two vicious pandas during a recent shoot.

Hope you're all having a wonderful day.  <3

Bendy Elle

The gallery's coming along.  I hope to post it today or tomorrow.  7 images done so far, hopefully at least 15 when it's ready.  ^__^

Bonus Laurynn

I'm doing another Silhouette Project, and while looking through the old files I found a shot of Laurynn from 2017 I liked but never edited.

So, I edited it.  ^__^

Patreon's Choice!

HEY!  Things are picking up and I've got more stuff for you this month, but I had an idea:

Tell me what you want to see, and I'll do one shoot this month that's exactly what you ask for...

Sad Photographer

Yesterday while looking for a photo (of a duck in a hat, of all things) I found a bunch of photos of a girl I worked with a lot several years ago.  She was an acrobat and contortionist, very f...

Talking about Gear

Photography is half art, half science, and about 46% luck.

It's hard to let go of the numbers and just create images that are fun with whatever gear gets it done, sometimes.

This post t...

Aurelie in Gold

From a recent shoot for a clothing importer, here's Aurelie in a stunning gold bodysuit.

Many Photos Incoming

Things are still slow here, it's unbelievable.  I had only two shoots in April, so I've just got nothing to show you.  This month isn't a heap better so far, today's big shoot at an aeria...

Photo Fails

I was out biking today, and this guy was doing this large drop.

I grabbed my rarely used backup backup camera, and it was configured all wrong.  Fuck knows what I was doing with it last!...

Kirsty: Before & After & After

 New post!  An aerialist in the studio, who was too close to the floor, and not nearly pink enough.  Check it out.  =D

The First Video!

I just posted the first NFGphoto video, detailing the raw conversion process for one photo.  

These videos will only get better, I assure you.*

* I hope...

Playing with New Ideas

Here's something I don't normally share.  This is a work in progress, a trial run of sorts, trying new ideas to see if they'd pan out or not.

In this case, I'd downloaded a trial softwar...

Video Incoming!

OK, you all voted fairly strongly in favour of an editiing video so I'm going to make one.  Tomorrow I'll start working out the details - mostly I'll be cleaning off my desk so I look like 10%...

Whattaya Want?

Since this month, and the last two, have been miserable death as far as photos are concerned, I thought maybe there was something else you might like to see.  Maybe a video (live stream?) of t...

A bit of Donna

This year continues to be rubbish photographically.  I can't get paid shoots and I can't get people to do free ones.  The start of the year is always bad but this is unreal.  Both my...

Before & After with Aurelie

 Here's a before and after analysis from a recent session with Aurelie.  It's a good one.  =)

Aurelie Preview!

Ah, the beginning of the month.  That beautiful time when my beautiful supporters rush to end their support before their credit card is charged.  ;)

I appreciate every one of you, ...

Rope with Melanie

This was a spectacularly rewarding shoot.  Melanie's awesome, my rope was pretty decent, the lighting worked...  It all came together and this might be my best rope shoot yet.

This ...

Dancing with Tamara

I've been wanting to shoot more ballet but have not had much luck finding dancers.  Until someone connected me with Tamara.  

A chance to try out some new lights and editing techni...

Aurelie Special

It's been a slow month (again) and there's not much to show you, so I went back to Aurelie's Pantheon Project shoot, which started off as a standard pole shoot.  

Well, as standard as i...

New Content!

I've got two posts ready to go live as soon as I resolve a problem with the site.  Talking to the plugin developer but it's slow going.

One's some never seen photos from a session with A...

Pantheon Project: Before & After 1

January Progress Report

Well January has totally sucked.  Only three paying shoots all month, one for city council and two people in the studio.  A few Pantheon shoots, which you will get to see next week (Augh,...

What do you want?

Well, it's 2019!

Thanks for all your support last year, it means a lot to me.  But...  I feel bad (because I'm an artist and everything I do is either total shit, or awesome, or bo...

Update!

OK, so November was pretty slow as far as releases go.  I was out of the country for half of the month, visiting family overseas, plus another small trip where my wife broke her ankle so a surpri...
