Seaside Textures

Here’s a little collection of textures that I came across on the beach yesterday that I thought were quite interesting to look at and potentially useful for some design projects that I have in mind. I hope that others find seashore life as interesting as I do through a macro lens, and why not partake of the great seaside texture photography identification game and see if you can guess what each image is of? Hours of fun await I’m sure…

Seven Deadly Sins Photoshoot

Today I’ve decided to upload some shots from a fashion shoot that I had last week interpreting the seven deadly sins in my own homemade studio.   The model for this shoot was the model Chloe Costello who was really great to work with for the first time, and I’m quite sure that she has a bright future in modeling ahead of her.  The stylist was the very talented Giulia Priori who really ran with the theme and came up with some great ideas on a tight budget.  These photos aren’t quite in their finished state right now, as I’ve had to do a little photoshop to try and jazz up my bedroom studio a little bit by trying to manipulate the backgrounds a little.   Though I’ve still not quite got the hang of this photoshop malarkey and I’m rushing to catch a plane to Belgium for a long weekend, so I hope that these somewhat rushed pictures will do the job until I get home, and hopefully I’ll have some nice new shots of a country that I’m visiting for the first time on my return.

The seven deadly sins are: Lust, pride, envy, gluttony, greed, sloth, and wrath.

I hope that you can guess which are which…
