Slow shutter speed to get the light swirls, with a remotely triggered flash to capture the action.

Guitars have such a classic aesthetic.

More from Guns to Caviar band rehersal

This evening I had the pleasure of shooting my first band - Guns to Caviar - as they rehearsed at some practice rooms close to work.  These are just some preliminary shots with little to no post.  I just wanted to get some up so the guys could have a look.  Expect more soon!

All these images were taken during a wee road test of the new Nikon D90.  They were shot at 1600 ISO using aperture priority.  From what I’d heard, the high ISO performance on the new Nikon cameras was supposed to be excellent, but I’m really very dissapointed with these images in that respect.  There doesn’t [...]

Self Portrait Number 2

This is my buddy Ross. I’m doing a website for him at the moment and he wanted a few formal shots taken to go on his bio page. As with quite a number of the shoots I do, the actual shots that meet the brief of the project aren’t that interesting to me. They’re professional [...]

This is an image that shows a man I once met named Hugo, who lives in a warehouse that he occasionally throws big parties at to help pay the rent. In the image you can see Hugo sitting behind a counter, talking to someone off camera; behind him is a large array of audio equipment - speakers, cables, reel-to-reel tape players - and some cargo netting.

Self Portrait Number 1

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is [...]

A shot taken for the Strobist Lighting assignment, “Work That CTO”. This image was taken by setting my cameras white balance to tungsten and then using a CTO gelled flash gun to light the main subject, giving a blue colour cast to the scene overall, while maintaining correct colours on the subject.
