Thought I'd head off on a tangent here and try some light painting. I got a little torch and put some coloured gels over it, turned out all the lights, got the group to stand totally still for a couple of minutes and then I went ahead and drew all over their faces with the torch. When I was done with that I went behind them and did some random patterns.

Composite
I had a compilation album to do and it involved about six bands, and I didn't want to do the same old bandy type posed shots. So I took headshots of everyone, and for each band got an unusual facial feature from every member and used it as a composite. For the front cover I used a blend of everyone's face. (top left image) It's amazing how attractive the average of all the faces looks compared to the composites.
Mother nature did a pretty good job before I starting messing it up.

Am I starting to feel old? I was touring the world with bands when I was 19 years of age. But when I start doing shoots with people who are smart, talented and only 13 years old, I often wonder what the hell I've been doing with my life. For this shot I used a 45mm tilt shift lens on my 5D.

This is an out take from a Sydney band I did a shoot for recently. I thought the light was nice. It's actually getting pretty close to a more painterly style of lighting I've been trying to achieve. Sunpak through an Ezybox triggered by Pocket Wizards.
