What do all those places have in common apart from beginning with the letter ‘S’. They are all FIAP accredited international salons I have entered or shall be entering shortly. I think it’s just coincidence about the first letter- or maybe it’s a good omen :)
Well I’ve produced some new prints, as I always like to do at least one new image per competition. The first one is taken up at Dave Hunt’s studio of the exceptional Joceline.
I love the way she effortlessly mirrors the shape of the branches with ther limbs and fingers. The tree had many sharp branches so she had to carefully slide herself underneath them, but as the true professional she is, she was insistent on getting the pose perfect for me.
The next image is a mucked about version of one that IvoryFlame liked and put on her blog. When Holly first saw the image she commented on how it looked like a desolate landscape, so I have edited the image to give an even greater impression of desolation using a solarisation effect.
And finally I am starting to get some images of Raphaella edited to competition standard, of which I have no doubt I will have many more in the future, so here’s one.
I have desaturated the background, and left the pillars in to give a bit of balance. Her torso is largely sharp while there is some nice movement blur in her legs and hair.
So thank you to the models concerned, and next I will be working on some projected images for the same competitions.
