Giving up meat has given me more energy, less bloating, i don’t feel as hungry and lost 6kg in 2 months... not that the goal was to lose weight.
Try something new...
Personal work with model Caroline Anne - yogi and gymnast. Shot upstairs at the Peacock Gym, East London.
Setup: Key light is Profoto D1 through a beauty dish, with a grid, to cmaera left. The backlight is another D1 through a 60cm square softbox (a zoom reflector in a couple of shots), mounted at the very back of the room, and aimed down at the floor. The clip lights are a B1 each side of Caroline, one with a zoom reflector (back left) and the other with a strip softbox (back right).
Photoshop: Bit of cleanup to remove things from the walls/background etc, played with lookup tables, and hue/sat colorise adjustment layers, plus a bit of desaturation. Burned around the edges to focus attention on Caroline. Some work on skin with curves to add a bit of sculpting.
Not very good setup shot here.

Brown pelican from the west coast of Florida. When I was a kid growing up on the Florida beaches, you would see groups of 20 or 30 pelicans flying down the beaches in formation all the time. My father called them the Floridian Airforce.

Just as they are flexible with their habitat, red-tailed hawks are also adaptable when it comes to their diet. Mammals and rodents are the main items on the menu for these sky beasts but they are opportunistic predators, and also feed on reptiles and birds, and may occasionally take amphibians and invertebrates. They hunt from a high perch and swoop down at their prey, snatching them up with large, powerful feet and long talons. Red-tailed hawks are skilled hunters that adapt their hunting strategy and technique to their prey and habitat.

COVID cancellations
It’s an uncertain world. Whenever I commit to plans, there’s a part of me that expects it to be canceled due to COVID.
The past two years have made me even more comfortable with flexible plans. I’ve also grown to appreciate the slower pace. Sometimes it takes a pandemic to appreciate a walk in the winter sunshine and the simple joy of watching a stick wash through a flooded culvert.
