Figure Volume 1 – preview 1

2011-03-30T15:09:57Z

In the book, I kept the commentary to a minimum — just a very short introduction. I really prefer people to experience the images without descriptions (or even titles) getting in the way of their own reaction. Here, I’ll delve into some of the details of the images, so read on only if you don’t [...]

Kit

2011-03-29T20:41:17Z

I got an email last week asking about the gear I use. I get asked that question with some frequency, so here’s a quick run-down of equipment I have or have used in the last while. Body: Nikon D300, previous to that I had a Fuji S2 Lens: Most used, by far, is my 60mm [...]

Figure Volume 1 – update

2011-03-29T15:27:41Z

99% done. I’ve am just waiting on a proof copy from the printer to check over, and once I have that I can make any final changes and then it will be ready for order. With the last two books, believe there were only one or two quick changes I had to make for each [...]

Book preview images

2010-09-17T14:27:02Z

Here are some preview images to give you an idea of the page layout, since I’m going with the 12×12 format. Last night’s editing session went well, I finished converting all the older image files for the first book to the same colour space as all the more recent ones. That will let me batch [...]

What’s in a name?

2010-09-15T14:27:19Z

I’m just waiting to hear back from a few models before I can dive into the final processing cycle for the book(s). I’ve worked with a number of models who prefer to stick with a pseudonym for their modelling work. Unlike my previous two books, I wanted to have the model’s name displayed with each [...]

Book news: Figure series soon!

I’m happy to announce that the next volumes of my photography, with a figure/nude theme, are progressing very well, and I expect to have them available in *roughly* a month or two. I’m going with a 12×12 format, and aiming for 120 pages (so around 110 image pages) for each volume. Alas, that size might [...]

So… what’s up?

2010-03-15T18:24:43Z

Lots is going on these days! The website overhaul is coming along — the gallery code changes seem pretty stable now, so next on my to-do list is re-size the the horizontal images so they look clean in the full view (currently the browser has to scale them up a bit). I’m probably going to [...]

jQuery plugin and Zenphoto theme: Silhouette

2010-03-05T20:34:41Z

I’ve been able to work out a number of bugs and quirks with the new gallery code, and I have both the jQuery plugin and Zenphoto theme code available for those who are interested. This is still a work-in-progress, so I make no guarantees that all will work perfectly, so please treat this as a [...]

New image gallery interface theme: Silhouette

2010-03-01T19:42:10Z

After 2 years with my Galleria and jCarousel mash-up theme for my gallery, I decided it’s time for another face-lift. While it’s still in development, and a little rough around the edges, I’ve enable the new theme for my gallery. I’m calling it “Silhouette”, and when it’s finished I should have it available both as [...]
