{Self-Portrait Project} Falling

exposure: 1/160sec f/stop: 8 iso: 100Hi everyone! I'm going for something different in this week's self-portrait and after looking at some inspirational images and sites, I came up with this photo of me falling on my bed. These sort of photos are called levitation photography and they're pretty fun to do and set up. Don't be surprised if I do more photos like this in the future.I took this photo

{Self-Portrait Project} Picasso face

exposure: 1/5sec f/stop: 2.8 iso: 800Hi everyone! Today I wanted to do another close up photo but to make it different I took a couple of photos and printed it out to hold against my face. It is slightly Picasso inspired but in a photographic way. I took a couple of photos beforehand and used a polaroid printer to print out the photos that I was holding. The camera was prefocused and set on self

{Self-Portrait Project} Phone call

exposure: 1/10sec f/stop: 2.8 iso: 800Hi everyone! Today I did a quick shoot of myself at the Rocks in one of the phone booths. I was trying to make myself look like I was in a movie or something so I actually dressed up for it. I suck at making names for my photos so I titled this shot, phone call. This shot was taken from outside the phone booth with my camera mounted on a monopod (can't find

{Self-Portrait Project} My Daily Routine

exposure: 1/160sec f/stop: 5 iso: 100 Hi everyone! This is a quick photo of me on my desk since I've been out all day and haven't had much time to do my original plan for today's self portrait. Its just me on my laptop looking up on any updates of the soon to be released a77 from Sony which should be a killer camera, more camera gear and various other photo topics on the web (its a daily routine

{Self-Portrait Project} Meal Interrupted

exposure: 1/50sec f/stop: 2.8 iso: 1600Hi everyone! After a failed self portrait session at the bay run, Marione and I decided to go to Broadway to try one of my other ideas that I had in mind for this week's photo. That photo didn't turn out as well as I planned it so we decided to give that another go some other week. We thought of a completely new idea whilst we were eating. Not many people

{Self-Portrait Project} The Illusionist

exposure: 25sec f/stop: 13 iso: 100Hi everyone! I had some sparklers left over from new years and I thought I could put it to some use with this week's photo project. The photo was taken via remote control and I had the assistance of Marione controlling the sparklers making the ball of light. No flash was used in this shot where the only light was from the sparklers.Gear used:- Sony a350 with

{Self-Portrait Project} Kitchen Trap

exposure: 1/60sec f/stop: 7.1 iso: 400Hi everyone! Reflecting on the week that just passed, I noticed that I spent a lot of my time in the kitchen cooking and eating. It was an unhealthy week but we all go through those times once in a while. This photo is to represent myself stuck in that unhealthy week in the kitchen. I guess it would have made more sense if I had junk food in this photo to get

{Self-Portrait Project} Face Painting

exposure: 1/500sec f/stop: 1.7 iso: 100Hi everyone! This image was inspired by another photographer, who's name I'm guessing is Victor Wagner. I thought it was pretty cool and creative shot so I decided to see if I could do something similar. To add meaning to this photo, this project has been challenging and has influenced a new creative vision and therefore painting a whole new perspective of

{Self-Portrait Project} "Don't step on me!"

exposure: 1/100sec f/stop: 2.8 iso: 100Hi everyone! I had little time to plan for this shot since I've been so busy lately but luckily it turned out alright with a simple setup and a simple concept. The only problem that I encountered whilst doing this photo was that it was freezing cold. This is pretty much another attempt of me trying to step out of my comfort zone with another weird facial

{Self-Portrait Project} The Karate Kid

exposure: 1/160sec f/stop: 9 iso: 100Hi everyone! I'm not really a violent person but I thought I should start stepping out of my comfort zone to make this project even better. I recently watched the Karate Kid and this is my tribute to the movie. Thank you Mr Miyagi, you taught me so much about how to fight. I took this shot with my camera mounted on a tripod, triggered by a two second timer via

{Self-Portrait Project} Aerial Workspace

exposure: 1/30sec f/stop: 2.8 iso: 800Hi everyone! This is what it looks like when I am planning my photography shoots and projects. Often at times its late into the night so the only light source comes from my lamp and my monitor (I don't like using my room light because it uses to much electricity). I look through books and magazines to draw some inspiration and use my notebook to write down

{Self-Portrait Project} Refreshed

exposure: 1/2500sec f/stop: 2.8 iso: 400 Hi everyone! I'm actually starting to train for a fun run in August called the City 2 Surf which is the world's largest running event held in Sydney. After a short training session, I had the chance to take a photo of something that I wanted to do for a while and finally I had the chance to do this today.Three flashes were used to get this look. There was

{Self-Portrait Project} A different perspective

exposure: 1/30sec f/stop: 2.8 iso: 400Hi everyone! Today I thought I would show you a different perspective on what it looks like when you open the fridge. At the moment my fridge doesn't have that much in it since I ate all the food but luckily I still have one more can of mountain dew. I've started trying out these flavors and although this particular flavor isn't my favorite it still tastes

{Self-Portrait Project} Waiting

exposure: 1/5sec f/stop: 2.8 iso: 200 Hi everyone! I titled this photo 'waiting' because I am currently waiting for better things to come. This doesn't apply to everything but with a few things, its important to wait. So while I'm waiting, I'm having a hot beverage to keep me warm during these winter nights.I needed some assistance with this shot and lucky Marione was there to help me with this

{Self-Portrait Project} Curiosity

exposure: 1/60sec f/stop: 9 iso: 100Hi everyone! Being a curious person with photography, I often find myself looking at other photographer's photo shoots and wonder, what setup did they use and how did come up with those ideas. I always get inspiration from those type of photographers that are willing to share their experiences and ideas. The ones that inspire me the most are Chase Jarvis, Brian

{Self-Portrait Project} Street Lights

exposure: 1/13sec f/stop: 2.8 iso: 800Hi everyone! This is my new project, the self-portrait project. It's time for me to be in front of the camera, so you're going to see me a lot from now on. I'll be doing one every week on Monday for a year starting from today. The photo above was inspired by a Kanye West song, titled 'Street Lights'. People may interpret this song differently but I see it as
