A man and his dog strolling down a country lane at Thorpe, Teesdale. Late autumn colours, strong sunshine and a very dark sky make a dramatic scene.
Hi flickr!
It's been awhile! The move went well, I'll post a few pictures in the comments of Garry and me I took sometime last week. I'm loving my life here so far...of course I could use a few more friends and a job but I know those things will come with time. For now I'm happy to have Garry and enjoy the simple things in life :)
I actually wasn't planning on doing a picture anytime soon...the apartment isn't that big and I still don't know the layout of the land very well here. But I signed into flickr this evening for the first time in awhile and saw a request from getty images and I also got an email from Brooke Shaden...both of which inspired me to think of SOMETHING.
And it just began with the make up and took off from there. I'm actually quite pleased with how this one turned out...which is rare lol especially when I do something so on the whim as this.
I'll probably be doing more sometime soon...perhaps something that features Garry and myself? We'll see...for now, enjoy our quarky silliness.

Part of the parish of Thorpe, Lower Teesdale lit up during a bright interval. Cross Fell, the highest point in the pennines visible though the haze on the horizon.
Such an exiting session today at Plymouth College of Art - PCA during my third photography course session with Gentleman Jamie House. We've learned how to use off camera flash using some really clever and versatile portable studio lighting. Here's the result.
A landscape view of the view of Leather Tor from Sharpitor. Much that I like the orientation of this one, the sun wasn't lighting up Leather Tor when I took it, which is a little frustrating. Wait as I might it never came back either. I know that this is a pretty standard view from here but I like it.
Le calme est souvent pris pour de l'absence.
Il est pourtant l'une des formes les plus exigeantes de la maîtrise. Certains élèvent la voix pour exister pendant que d'autres n'ont besoin que d'un regard pour rappeler que la véritable force ne cherche jamais à être démontrée.
EN Calm is often mistaken for absence.
Yet it may be the most demanding form of strength. Some people raise their voice to be noticed. Others only need a glance to remind us that real strength never feels the need to prove itself.

Some extraordinary and rapidly changing lighting conditions as very brief periods during which the sun almost breaks through the cloud cover create a dramatic view up the dale. Additionally, this shaft of direct sunlight hit Widdybank Fell in the far distance for just a few seconds. High Force Hotel in front of the conifer plantation left, East Friars farm centre.

Capturing the Essence: The Power of Shadow and Light
In portrait photography, what we choose to hide in shadow is often just as important as what we choose to reveal. This recent session in the studio was an exploration of minimalism and intensity.
The Art of the Portrait
For this shot, I wanted to move away from traditional "flat" lighting to create something more cinematic. By using a single, controlled light source, we highlighted the model's features while maintaining a deep, velvety atmosphere.
The Mood: Introspective and bold.
The Styling: A simple black turtleneck to ensure the viewer's focus remains entirely on the eyes and the expression.
The Technique: Chiaroscuro-inspired lighting that adds depth and a three-dimensional feel to a two-dimensional medium.
Only one led was use as you can see in her eyes.
Prestigieuse civilisation du Nubie, héritière culturelle des fameux pharaons noirs de la XXVème dynastie d'Égypte, Méroé prospéra du IIIéme siècle avant J.C.au IVème siècle de notre ère. L'économie de Méroe était basée sur une riche agriculture et sur l'industrie du fer mais surtout sur le commerce caravanier entre Afrique Noire et monde méditerranéen et le commerce des esclaves. Les pyramides de Meroe, beaucoup plus pentues que celles de l'Egypte dont elles perpétuent le modèle, leur sont aussi très postérieures dans le temps
Evening descent from the mountains. The sun is already hiding behind the ridges, throwing the valley into shadow — but the majestic peak still basks in golden light. A fleeting, magical moment between day and night.
This captivating studio portrait features a young woman standing barefoot beneath dramatic, focused lighting that creates a powerful visual presence. Her relaxed stance, crossed legs, and thoughtful upward gaze convey a sense of confidence, curiosity, and quiet reflection. The soft spotlight isolates the subject against a moody, darkened background, emphasizing both her expression and the elegant simplicity of the composition.
Dressed in a fitted white crop top and denim shorts, the styling remains casual and contemporary, allowing the viewer's attention to rest on the subject's natural beauty and confident posture. Her wavy blonde hair frames her face while the controlled studio lighting highlights subtle details and textures throughout the image.
A particularly striking element of the portrait is her barefoot presentation. Her bare feet add a sense of authenticity, freedom, and natural ease to the image, reinforcing the relaxed mood of the session. The connection between her bare feet and the studio floor creates a grounded, approachable feeling that contrasts beautifully with the dramatic lighting and artistic atmosphere. This simple detail enhances the portrait's sense of vulnerability, confidence, and individuality.
The minimalist setting removes distractions and allows the interplay of light, shadow, pose, and expression to take center stage. Combined with the shallow depth of field and carefully controlled lighting, the result is a portrait that feels both intimate and cinematic. The image celebrates natural beauty, youthful confidence, and the timeless appeal of studio portrait photography.
In the background is the steam ship 'Sir Walter Scott' on which we were about to travel - and yes, it did rain!

Kiana captivates in a dramatic portrait, bathed in a sharp spotlight that carves out her silhouette against a deep black background. Her intense gaze and the interplay of light and shadow create a powerful and artistic image.
Haha! This photo shoot was interesting cause Chris is just a good friend of mine and he was getting some portfolio photographs taken by me when I asked him to help me with an assignment. It didn't come out exactly as I had planned but it worked out well.
So, yes folks that is me and yes my hair is lighter now and only getting lighter. :)
I got the idea from a photographer off deviant art, I'll have to find the link again and credit them. :)

There are moments when a face tries to disappear, yet the truth refuses to hide. In this frame, a single eye breaks through the shelter of folded hands, holding a quiet storm of fear, strength, and unspoken thought. It is the look of someone caught between shielding themselves from the world and needing the world to understand. A portrait shaped by shadow, colour, and silence, a reminder that even when we cover our face, the soul still asks to be seen.

In a chamber of deep green walls and velvet drapery, she emerges as both muse and monarch. Her satin gown, plunging and adorned with a jeweled brooch, gleams like a living emerald against the warmth of the lamp’s glow. Red hair cascades in waves, catching the light like fire braided with silk. The dangling earrings, the bold lips, the gaze that pierces through shadow—all conspire to create a portrait of timeless glamour. This is not merely fashion, but a ritual of presence: a sovereign enthroned in light and shadow, where elegance becomes myth.
“The Lady of Velvet Shadows”
She is not seated—
she is enthroned,
the lamp’s warm fire
a crown upon her hair of flame.
Her gown is a river of emerald night,
gathered at the heart
by a jewel that remembers
the weight of kingdoms.
The curtains lean closer,
the walls hold their breath,
even the roses in their vase
seem to bow toward her silence.
Her gaze is not invitation,
but decree—
a sovereign’s command
wrapped in the softness of satin.
And we, who linger in her light,
are pilgrims of her presence,
carrying away fragments of emerald and fire
to kindle our own shadows
with her remembered radiance.

Ornate pillars glow against the darkness, their intricate patterns brought to life by warm evening lights. Spanning the space between them, an elegant coat of arms stands proudly above the bridge, adding a touch of history and grandeur to the night. The contrast between the illuminated stonework and the deep shadows gives the scene an almost medieval atmosphere, as if this bridge were a gateway to another time — a place where old stories still linger beneath the city lights.
