Damien and surfboard II

This image was part of the initial shoot I did with Damien.  I really enjoy working with Damien as we have a good understanding of what we are trying to achieve and is very focused in crafting a great image.  This image wasn't part of my initial selects but the other night I was looking through the shoot and came across this one again and really like it.  This time though, rather that developing the image like I usually do, I decided on a softer, more muted interpretation.  I really like it.


Dark and stormy with Damien....

I haven't released this image before.  It is one of a series I did a my buddy Damien.  As I have said in multiple posts, Damien is just a pleasure to work with... he gets my vision and is the consummate professional... and a really awesome guy.  This one was meant to be in front of a sunset that never eventuated.... but what happened was the sky went immediately dark and moody.  A quick change to the lighting and this was the outcome.  A bit of desaturation and detail extraction to gain a bit of 'grittiness'.  Enjoy.


Welcome to 2012...

Well for those of us in Oz, welcome to 2012.  Those buddies in far off countries, enjoy your New Years Eve.

Now to start 2012 off with a bang, I thought I would share one of my all time favourite images.  This one is of my buddy Damien, who is a professional diver, and we did a shoot for a fundraising campaign which we are expecting to be launched this year.

I really like this image and had the opportunity to shoot it twice... first whilst we were scouting locations, then again many months later.  Now what you don't see is the crew (Craig and Paul) getting very wet and trying to avoid getting the flash equipment wet, and myself dropping my flash remote in the water, and copping a full wave in the face!  Thank goodness for pro-gear with good seals!

Anyways ladies and gents... welcome to the new year and I hope you enjoy this image and get to see the final image in the production that it was created for... more to come...
