You may say I’m a dreamer

Finally, back to my fascination with eyes. It’s been way too long but I’ve finally begun what will hopefully become a large series. Along time since my first attempt but I’m back with better equipment, better company and I think I have a better understanding of what I’m doing.
So here’s the first of a new batch, once again working with Tanya O’Callaghan. Getting to grips with using different layers and saturation levels to experiment with the colours and tones. I’ll be posting more shots and tests here as we go along. Feedback, criticism, comments, thoughts or anything would be greatly appreciated.

Another shot from my series of alternative body art portraits, working with the very beautiful Tanya O’Callaghan. Simple use of selective desaturation to bring out the red in the tattoo, which is based on an Alex Grey design.
All of Tanya’s tattoos were inked by artist Sean Boon in the Vibe Studio, Mullingar. You can see the entire series of shots here and read more about the shoot and future shoots here on my blog.
