Steve McCurry. Dust Storm, Rajasthan, India, 1983
Photo Credit: Lightfoot TravelThis is one of McCurry’s favourite images, a striking composition—a group of women huddled together amidst a dust storm with some pots in the foreground, anchoring the frame and bare trees in the background. The ethereal desert setting is brought to life with a war…Read More

After attending the One-day architectural workshop on Sunday, 26 Nov, and the Zoom meeting on Architectural editing, I created the following HDR Panorama.
I wanted to create the feeling of a warm family home at night and went for a warmer edit with the lights in the house. I did a sky replacement in Photoshop and made the sky also a bit…Read More

A quick portrait of my son. I was playing with back lighting. My vision for this was a mysterious and dramatic B/W portrait. I wanted to emphasize the tattoo on his arm.

Love the rim light!

Thank you John!

Jacques, your use of rim lighting for separation is great, yet the focal point remains unclear as your subject’s brightly lit tattooed forearm commands much visual attention. Considering the subject’s masculine demeanor, it seems you were aiming for a dark, moody portrait. Adding a bit more fill light, or lighting a part of his face in an…Read More

I took this photo during one of @trompie-van-der-berg ‘s On Locaction Lighting workshops. I went for a more dark and dramatic B/W edit.

Close up B/W portrait. (Cropped close during editing). Impromptu portrait shoot in my small home studio. Due to a low ceiling, I could not get the height of the flash very high. Key light was an AD200 Pro and the hair light/fill light a Godox V860ii.

This one is a bit more recent. It was shot at a Studio Lighting course, where we all though Mike looked like a great model – I recon the shot came out ok 🙂

A well executed portrait of Mike, but for a character portrait where the emphasis is on expression and facial features, a tighter crop could be more effective. Reducing the space above and below his face would draw more attention to his expressions and the nuances of his character. Regarding the watermark, while it’s important…Read More

This portrait of Michaela was shot in the old Kimera studio. I had done a few courses and was really starting to enjoy the Black and White genre. Jenna did the make up and hair, and too this day I recon this is one of my favourite shots of Michaela 🙂

This portrait of Minnette was published full-page in the “Hotshots” section of Digital Camera World Magazine in 2008. I photographed it less than two years after starting photography as a hobby. I used a 1000-watt continuous light through a huge softbox. That light was so hot, it warmed up the whole house! But it taught me a lot about lighting,…Read More

Jacques, the sky replacement in your Photoshop edit gives the impression of sunset colours, which doesn’t align with the actual shooting conditions of nautical twilight. For a more accurate depiction, consider using a sky that better represents nautical twilight, typically characterised by purples rather than blues.
