Alina wearing Love Vs Art

Alina has popped up on the blog a few times before over the years. She featured in one of my most popular posts of all time “Testing out the Elinchrom Ranger RX Speed AS Kit in bright sunlight“. She’s an amazing Perth model who I have worked with quite a lot and she has also modelled for one of my glamour workshops too. Anyway, here’s some fresh new photos taken just at the end of 2011 if memory serves me correctly.

Alina has started putting her creativity and passion for fashion into designing her own swimwear range which has been called “Love vs Art”. Alina sources all the materials and creates every piece by hand. I have to say it’s really good to see her enjoy it so much and I think that shows in the pieces she creates. Look forward to seeing more to come!

All these photos are obviously of Alina wearing her own swimwear. It was just a small test shoot really, but she still looks amazing!

Riddick Photoshop Composite for Top Shelf Entertainment

Filed Under: Photoshop
Feb.03, 2012

Vin Diesel fan? Well the ladies certainly are and that’s exactly who Top Shelf Entertainment (TSE) are out to please. TSE are the dancing/stripping group from Australia who late last year hired me to shoot their entire arsenal of content for their new website.

Part of their business is doing themed dance/strip shows for various ladies nights and stage shows and this one above is for their Riddick theme.

Ok now onto the photography part. This was obviously a composite of a number of photos. Firstly we have the subject Camille who I photographed on a gray background and extracted out. The second image is the cracked grungey surface which was a stock image. The mountains in the distance were another stock image that I modified quite a bit to suit, and finally the night sky and planets image completed the composite. It’s a fairly simple composite just blending a few seperate images together and colour correcting the whole peice to fit together better.

For Riddick himself, I applied some detail enhancing techniques to get the most out of the image, accompanied with some light dodge and burning.

So I think this is a pretty good result  for a fairly simple approach. I had about 12 or so of these to do so I had to keep it as simple as I could.
