Aces of the skies, heroes and entertainers at the same time. BIAS 2015

Negative mist

Usually the mist does not look like that, you’ll need only a bit of imagination

Archive: Cheese (NSFW)

A cheesy editing effect for all those who swear converting a picture in black and white makes it automatically more artistic.

archive cheese

The Archive is a series of older photos involving some degree of nudity. All the pictures are taken a few years ago, but were not published to the blog (most of them were not published before at all), thus the name of the series.

Editing a bit of drama

Not having anything planned, I didn’t carry a tripod with me, so here is how I made it: the singe RAW (.cr2) image opened with UFRaw (the GIMP plugin version) and saved as 3 JPEGs: -1, 0 and +1 exposure. JPEGs imported in Luminance HDR and assembled as not a very obvious HDR, edit levels for more drama and export as one JPEG. Some final tweaks with GIMP and the result is this.

Smoke in colors

Continuing the play with smoke photography, a next step was editing it, so fired-up GIMP and made this. The photo is real, the coloring is post-processing.

Parenting: surrounded

I got the taste for multiple exposure composition for the parenting series. I guess I should calm down a bit for the future 🙂

Continuing the “parenting” series, today is the time for some flying.

Making of Parenting: Xmas

For those who liked my Xmas picture in the Parenting series, I am breaking some of its magic with a ‘making of’: tripod, remote trigger, multiple shots, loaded as layers, masks.

Parenting: Xmas

We are near Christmas, so it was obvious one of the pictures in my parenting series will have a Christmas theme. Actually my first concept for it was “preparing to set the Xmas tree on fire” but I ducked it to prevent any possible domestic debates.

More waterdrops

The cinemagraph before opened my appetite, so I made one more: the same place, the same rain, one single cup from the pack.

GIMPing

I got some homework to do: photoshopping some animal pictures, but since I don’t like Photoshop, I used GIMP instead, therefore my action should be called GIMPing.

Perfectly safe!

If I am already in the April Fool’s Day with demotivational images, I guess I can continue with a picture I took yesterday at Comic Con Eastern Europe in Bucharest

April Fools

Busy with a lot of things, I forgot today is April Fools’ Day, realized it only today at noon, so didn’t have the time to plan anything. But wanting to do something, I used the little one, my Ace in the sleeve.

Advertising: event photography

If so far I flirted with event photography, this year I am getting serious in this, showing how it can be done in a professional manner. From the various types of events, from corporate to anniversaries and ceremonies, the wedding are the most important and their season is closing fast, clients should waste no time in booking the services, as soon many photographers will be fully loaded. Preparing for this year’s season, I launched a few weeks ago an event photography website targeting weddings, baptisms, anniversaries, corporate events, spectacles and such. There is also this set of posters, sampling some of my works and capabilities.
