Another new one for the series, again manipulating the colour and saturation levels. The title is a lyric from A Perfect Circle’s song ‘Orestes‘ and I think it adds to what I was going for. Again I’d love to hear what people think about these shots.

I’m also delighted to announce that I’ve been nominated for ‘Best Photo Blog’ in the Irish Blog Awards 2008. We’ve also been nominated several times over at KilkennyMusic.com. You can read more about the nomination here on my KKM Staff Blog, which was also nominated for ‘Best Blog Post’.

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.

A concept I’ve had in my head for quite a while. I’d like to do a series of shots like this one. I’ve talked to several makeup artists about working on them with me.

A little adjustment to the levels and some colour modification on this one.
