I must say that there are a limited number of folks out there that when i see their work it impresses me so much it drives me to create new creations. Most of my work this days is commercial in nature (ad campaigns, product shoots, magazine spreads) and its all weighting heavily on my soul at the moment, i need to break out and do some personal projects to express and expand my mind and heart. Thomas Campbell's new film "the Present" is one of those items out there that jazzes me up to create new visual creations.... expect some new visual presents from me in the soon coming future.
Another week, another City Link cover. This week I had the chance to photograph the Motards, who are men and women who race tiny, little motorbikes which looks pretty silly. I kept the shot pretty simple: two lights, a fog machine, and a red gel on the backlight. I thought it came out pretty solid, a good standard cover shot. BUT someone at layout decided it would be a good idea to add a motion blur filter to the edges of the frame, which was a little amaturish, and it competely degraded the image's quality. But that's the norm, layout people and photographers never see eye-to-eye.
