November 2008 "Life of a CG Artist"
Taking time to appreciate the wonderful things around us

I decided this the most fit entry from my vault, a self-portrait of me (backing music by RHCP-under the bridge =).

In one of Ansel Adam's books, 'visualisation' is a foremost chapter. Visualisation is the soul of my career as a CG artist. I therefore take reference observing things around me and documenting my observations through photography. In photo-outings we are always in a lookout for fleeting moments, good subjects and dramatic lighting scenarious. We shoot scenes like trigger-happy maniacs. But do we take a moment to pause, put the camera aside for a while and wonder as the moments happens right through our very own eyes?

Congratulations Glensky for winning our December 2008 Challenge!

December 2008 "Light and Shadows"
Carol

Just a brief note how this was taken, i used one strobe to light her up from the other end of the studio. This is more of un-conformist style portraiture/fashion shoot.
