Portrait Shoot: Mateo

By • Dec 27th, 2007 • Category: portraits

Nope, that’s not me in the photo – you probably just remember my last post with the self-portrait. Nope, I’m not that cute – and obviously, I’m not that young either. That little baby (and a cute little baby at that) is a friend’s nephew and godson, Mateo. The image you see is one of [...]

Contact Lens Workflow by Parc Cruz

By • Dec 17th, 2007 • Category: processing

Philippine photographer Parc Cruz has posted a nice tutorial on Flickr for what he describes as his Contact Lens Workflow. Though I don’t agree with him on all the different steps, I definitely can’t argue with the results.

It looks like somebody forgot to activate the DoFollow WP Plugin over here.  Don’t worry – that problem’s been fixed already.  Hey, better late than never, right?



Photo Project: Shoot Yourself

By • Dec 14th, 2007 • Category: images, portraits

Yes, that’s me in the photo. It’s a self-portrait I shot as part of a self-portrait project on Epic Edits Weblog. Nope, it’s not a particularly glamorous photo – what do you expect for a shot that took only a couple of minutes to prepare? It’s just a simple mirror shot with a blown-out background. [...]

See that little beauty to the left? Pretty, ain’t she? That’s one of the cars I shot recently. See all the pretty little things beside the car? Those are images from our portfolio. We’ve got a few images there that you might want to check out. The flash, by the way, is the handiwork of [...]



New Look

By • Dec 6th, 2007 • Category: news

As you can probably tell, we’ve redecorated. We’ve got a new magazine-ish look on the main page with three major categories: images up top, gear to the left, and tips in the middle. We’ve also got a sidebar with news (like this post) off to the right. Mind you, tinkering and tweaking of the design [...]
