One of several promo shots for session bassist Tanya O’Callaghan, I’m slowly but surely getting through my backlog of photos. This was taken in January. Keeping it simple, using a standard household lamp for the shoot.

Slowly but surely catching up on my huge backlog of work, did a little playing around in photoshop on this one to remove the bass guitar leaving only the string. More of a test than anything else as I have some ideas I want to try out.

I’m in the middle of my final college exams at the moment (Cultural Sociology was this morning) but plenty of new series to come soon. For now here’s another shot from my promo-shoot with Atrax Mantis, it’s one of my favourites.

I’ll post a blog about the shoot once exams are over and Atrax Mantis release the artwork for their upcoming E.P.

Another promo shot of grindcore death metallers Atrax Mantis, taken in a run-down warehouse where we were shooting the concept artwork for their upcoming E.P ‘Condemned to Hatred’.

We shot the cover art for the E.P yesterday, working with Make-up/Special Fx artist Carey Harte. I’m gonna hold off on writing a blog about the shoot until Atrax Mantis release the E.P artwork (which looks awesome).

I’m into the final stretch of college, in a few short weeks everything will change. But first I have to get through my thesis, endless assignments and then of course exams. It’s going to be stressful and I know I won’t have much time to be working on pictures, I already have a huge backlog. I find myself constantly doing exactly as the title suggests.

This shot is a test shoot for black & white natural light shots, you can read more about it here on the new Oss237.com Blog.

A random capture playing with a slow shutter speed at the elainECurtis Charity Fashion Show 2008. All of the proceeds from the night went to Saplings Schools: Providing a unique education for children with Autism.

The focus in this shot is very soft because of the slow shutter and the lights but that’s why I like it. You’ll hopefully be able to see my actual promotional shots and fashion shots on the elainECurtis website very soon and you can read more about this shoot here on my blog.
