I just love this photo
I’m revisiting some of my older work and editing them in Lightroom and I’m loving the results.

Applied my new-found knowledge and shot a few portraits of our personnel. Still a couple of hiccups and fine-tuning and learning ahead. But a couple of the images came out looking not too bad, like this picture of Leandra.

It was awesome working with Sascha, even though she probably ended up helping more with the photo-taking part.

Steampunk Workshop at Studio012 in July 2023. More shots from the day. The costumes and get-ups lend themselves to monochrome creations. Even missed a couple of the set-ups, but it was all worth it.

Steampunk Workshop at Studio012 in July 2023. Different costumes, different models, and amazing hair and make-up by Amanda. Had to borrow a camera from a friend because the Canon 2000D didn’t work with the triggers.

Melissa was a great sport during the shoot.
