Photoshoot changes this year

January 23rd, 2010

I. PRIVATE SHOOTS, LESS CONS
I have often been unsatisfied with con pics for a while now. I’ve tried to push the evenlope but I feel Ive gotten the most out of it.
So I am going to concentrate more on private shoots this year more than anything to push the creative edge of my cosplay photography.

There will be a $15 reservation fee which will be RETURNED if you show up – I’m not charging you money unless you want full-size.

II. TARDINESS
I have been realy lenient on everyone (the cosplayers I work with), but I am find with each con I am getting a little and little more frustrated.
I do have to admit I do get slightly impatient when it hits over the 20 minute mark to be completely honest.

I know that we all drop the ball sometimes, but I treat the shoots like if I were at my job – and that means I’m not very late ^_^
I don’t mean to accuse anyone or implying anything here, but if you could just be on time it would be great =)

Thank you for reading everyone!

Painting reverse from a photo

November 19th, 2009

I just tried out this tutorial:

http://digital-photography-school.com/painting-a-photo-in-photoshop

used an old image I took quite a years back.. the result came out pretty neat for 20 min.

I’m going to try it more with my library of images… but it’s pretty fun to take a picture and “reverse paint” it. =)
