A self portrait taken on the front steps to my flat. The Mamiyaflex was placed on the ground inside the front door, with my Canon on a tripod angled down and focused on the plate. (with a skateboard tied to it to weigh it down as I was using a useless Jessops tripod). I set [...]

Studio self portrait. One light bounced off polyboard. 40mm at f16. Off to the pub!

A self portrait shot in the studio with one flash masked off from background with a poly-board and a ceiling light on low coming from the left.

Self portrait in the reflection of the window in the wood cabin in Devon.

Another self portrait. Shot with a single flash on low to keep it dark and poly board to keep the background start. Looking a bit evil in this. I’m happy really; it’s Friday!

Sorry, another self portrait. It just happens that I’m the nearest person when I need a shot. This was hand held at f1.4 with a 50mm Lens. One tungsten light and a gray background.

Sorry for everyone who checks the blog regularly, having to see my gormless face two days in a row. But I’ve been having fun playing with some lighting styles the last couple of days, which has been interesting. This one was shot with two low flash heads on low power (1 slightly higher) bounced off [...]

The third self portrait this year (Or is it 4). When there’s no one around to shoot, you have to get in front of the camera and act silly. I used 3 flash heads. one with a blue gel, one with pink towards the camera at the rear to get the flare effect and one [...]

This was taken in a tiny forest. I got shrunk down whilst fiddling with some strange equipment in the garage. There was a flash of light and next thing I knew, I was in these eerie woods.

I thought that I would do a self portrait in the studio today. I don’t like photos of myself, same as everyone I guess. So I made this really high-key so you only really get to see main features. Hard to focus a manual focus camera on your own eye; it turns out… ps. I [...]

A Double flash exposure portrait today. The camera was set to bulb and the flashes fired remotely. I like how my arm has become correctly exposed. Happy Birthday to my Dad Today!

Another self portrait today. Shot with a remote release, one softbox under the face and a window light above. My tiredness has hit new levels, I must go to bed now. Goodnight Zzzzz

The first proper self portrait on photoaday so far. The thing in my hand is a remote release. It was shot using 2 flash heads; one for the lens flare and one to light me from the side. I broke a belt jumping so many times.
