Trying out a new piece of equipment for projecting colored light onto a subject and background… it’s working out pretty well, I’m looking forward to using it in future projects.

Vibrant Shot Video on Blend Modes
I really liked this video from Vibrant Shot about blend modes, what exactly they do, why they’re grouped how they are, and different things you can accomplish with them. It’s always good to get a deeper understanding of why things are behaving they way they are in Photoshop, and every now and then you’ll pick up something that you can make a part of your daily workflow.

New Color Technique
I was doing a lighting test the other day, and came across this setup, which I really liked. It’s basically a custom White Balance that shifts things to a very pink/blue/brown place. It has a sort of an old-masters quality to it, which I’ve never been able to replicate before. There’s a subtlety to it that I’m digging. If you’ve got some gels and some strobes, give it a shot. Gel your lights and see what happens. Sometimes it’s a mess, but every now and then you’ll hit gold.

New Work - Oil and Light with Marie
This is a recent picture from my collaboration with Marie, who is an amazing model/make up/hair artist. I had been impressed with the digital illustrations of an artist named Serge Birault who mostly does pinup-ish images of girls wearing latex and I wanted to incorporate kind of the same idea into one of my pictures. So I reached out to Marie, who definitely has the right look for the part, and sent her this sketch of my idea:
She was interesting in working together, so we met up and made a picture together. This picture was captured using four different plates and assembled in photoshop. I think we were definitely successful at getting the whole girl-emerging-from-oil look, and from my point of view 90% of that is thanks to Marie’s great makeup, styling and hair design. Seriously, she’s great and took my pictures to a whole new level.
