… You’re trying to make a self portrait in the busiest spot of the Isle of Skye.
Actually, no one was in that spot until I went to stand there, and then… People happened. :’D
Got that sunshine in my pocket
A couple of weeks ago, actress Verona Verbakel and I had planned a shoot amongst the cherry trees. Due to the awful weather, our shoot was postponed and hence, no more blossoming cherry trees. But this time the weather was more cooperative and it felt great just being out and able to shoot with the sun shining!
Happy 2018
I wish all of you a spectacular 2018 filled with love, beauty and silliness.
“It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe, but not worth bothering with.” – Stephen Fry
Paint it black
Earlier this year I made some self portraits featuring a white background and black paint, and since then I’ve had the idea stuck in my head of making a portrait like this. It’s always interesting to see how an idea in your head transforms when you try to turn it into reality. Victim of choice was Charlotte, who I’ve basically been shooting with since my early photography days (and her early modelling days). Of course Kathleen Van Walle, the only makeup artist who can read my mind, had to be there for the party as well. Another Sunday well spent!
