[Grumbledook]

really like your style, some fantastic shots

Squaredreamer is my fave

whats your method of producing the B+W shots?

[asoir]

may i ask what camera you're using?

nice shots, i've been trying to produce hard shadows as you've acheived and any tips would be awesome.

thanks

[Dr Caligari]

Thank you.
I use the Sony Alpha 100.
All pictures came more "alive" by digital darkroom techniques (tonal range, contrast controls, multi curve tweaks..).
[I like to use Adobe Lightroom.]

[Dished]

Wow! fantastic stuff sir!

If it isnt much trouble..

How were you able to get it to have that moving effect but still stay focused on your face? I tried doing something like that with mine, by upping the FPS but i ended up getting the whole thing blurry.

@Dished:
I made a 30 sec exposure, started with a little fill-in flash and used some bulblight during the "movement"
Here are some more results:

Sony Alpha? Kick ass.. I want that cam... nice shots sir.. I specially love your see environments, and the room where theres a mans dark silhouette, and some computer equipment/plotter in the right background.

[eazym]

yeah, nice as before. The technique looks similar to High Pass Filter sharpening to me.

[klips]

Excellent work. Get creative ideas, which hopefully people realise is FAR more important than just the camera. I might have to have a play with those movement ones, see what I can come up with.

If I was a cow, I would be terified by this man !
I'm not fan of motion shot but always quality in your work and something enigmatic.
"Lonesom duo" is my favorite.

[daedicurus]

[carolupus]

I like your 'men' best, especially cowman - great expression and nice composition - and mirrorman - I have a thing for reflections and chemtrails -> reflected chemtrails = awesomeness
love the sharpness of all of the photos!
