Sorry that I haven't posted anything new, or returned any comments for a while. I have been busy with work, training/racing and other stuff, but that hasn't stopped my passion for what I love the most......photography. I will be spending the next few weeks playing catch up, so please bear with me.
This self portrait was taken back in November 2008 after I decided to use up some face paint that I had originally purchased for someone else's photo shoot. You get some great skin textures using face paint, especially whilst frowning, which comes natural for me!
Technique : Two bare strobes fired at a white back drop. A 430Ex flash gun positioned on the left hand side of the subject fired into a silver umbrella, half power. A 580Ex flash gun positioned at the right hand side of the subject fired through a white umbrella, full power. Camera set to 1/60sec, f11, iso100.....this was tethered to a laptop and controlled via a mouse.
The bathroom was a complete mess afterwards as you can guess!!!
