Tree of Life Pt. I

My figure studies continue. Here I am trying to explore the theme of the textures of Life.

Waterloo Street- God of Fortune

Waterloo Street Indian Temple

I returned to Singapore and shot a series of montages on the Holga. I saw the potential of the images but did not get round to working on them as my office has been so busy. I have taken this Christmas day to work on some of the images. And here is a how I like it treated. It is much warmer now than the original scans. The original scans were very cold.

Savanna Test with Robert

Lisa Eagles Figure II

Savannah

Savannah is a model with Phantom. She wanted some edgy poolside shots and came to me.It was a challenge because I have only shot outdoors with lighting a couple of times. So the whole exercise was a learning experience, but a good one. :)

Lisa Eagles Figure Study I

Lisa was a student of mine from the last course and volunteered to pose for me. And we had a great time and we were both happy with the results.

I managed to get Alexandra Sklavos and Robert Mills into my studio to do dance shots with me. I am starting to play with my photography again and it feels good. But some things worked and some did not. But the great thing is that when I am doing things for myself, as opposed to paid work, I have more freedom to fail. And I think that the great images can only come about if there is the chance to experiment and fail as well. But this session started 3 days of great photography for me. Well at least it feels good!

Thanks Alex and Robert for playing with me. I hope to get more dancers into my studio to play!
