You're standing on my neck

I was a big fan of the nineties cartoon Daria and I love iot that characters from retro shows still turn up at cons like this Daria (who was with a Jane) taken at Supernova Adelaide 2018.

BREAKDOWN 005 - Greenery

I posted a Before|After comparison of this final shot to the  original out of camera, but thought I'd take a longer look at the progress and decision making between the in camera shot and final posted image.

As with most bathrooms shoots there is a distinct lack of space and while I've...

Far Cry 5 - Card Set

Back when we were shooting the Far Cry 5 fan film Baptism of Fire, a project that was funded by game publisher Ubisoft I took inspiration from some of the pre-release game art that  featured the characters on retro collector cards. Even though less than half the game characters featured in t...

Before|After - Suddenly Green

One last shoot with Suddenly Green before she moves overseas again. Similar setup to x23 shoot with camera suspended overhead. Due to the small bath and limited amount of foliage I had to crop the image in quite tight but very happy with result.

Steamkittens Series 3 is out!

Had my book launch last night at the RAW showcase and had a number of people turn up particularly to grab one. That along with Pre-sales means the book run is about 30% sold which is amazing. The book featured images from the last 18 months.

Mother of Dragons

I've always been keen to augment more photos with illustrations ever since the 101 Dalmatians shot from about three years ago which is still one of my favourite all time works.

With the minimalist nature of this shoot of the rebirth of Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones I thought the i...

Before|After MJ

Finished a second pass of the NZ Armageddon shots today and spend a little extra time on this one. Would have been 15-20 minutes work using a lot of standard assets like the city shots that's in 80% of my superhero comps.

X23 Behind the Scenes

Due to my mobility issues the only way to can do overhead shots now is with the camera on a boom shooting tethered. The downside is I don't have a fancy device for changing setting on the camera so any changes to camera or flash settings still need to be made on the camera, which is up near the r...

Because there was no planning involved we didn't have a Christmas loca...

I finally finished the first pass on Adelaide Supanova which means there should be at least one shot of everyone up and I can move back on to New Zealand Armageddon shots, The Brisbane and finally PAX. Then the p...
