Artsy – brawns personal blather

Landscape work

It’s been a long time goal of mine to produce fine-art status worthy landscape works. The problem is that landscape photography is much more challenging than I’ve ever expected. As I continue to grow and learn as an artist, I’m able to take what I know about portraiture photography and apply it to landscape. While at first glance it might not seem directly related, at the end of the day we are just trying to capture the interesting things that light is capable of. Here are two frames from a recent sunset walk at our favorite park in Nanaimo, Neck Point.

Nicole

I’ve started a personal project. While I can’t really tell you what it is yet, I can tell you that Nicole is involved. After we were done with the project images, we went for a walk at my favorite park in town. I decided to play a bit with this set in my processing. Sometimes photographers struggle to find their processing groove and keeping things consistent. I’m no different and struggle with this every shoot. I do however feel that I’m becoming more consistent with my light, camera and processing, I do feel the draw to try new things. Feel free to tell me what you think of this set in the comments, all comments are welcome.

Lost Lake Fog

I was out yesterday and I had my camera with me. The fog at lost lake was pretty cool, so I stopped for quick walk despite the rain and my new shoes.

It’s snowing.

And now for a couple shots you didn’t expect!

I’m planning on doing a shoot with this mask. I’ve always wanted to shoot with a gas mask, although I really don’t have a solid plan for it yet. I thought since it was snowing, it would make a cool shot.

Something different

Old feeling, texture. Just something different.
