Toys

If only my real veggies were this adorable!

I spent five days in Michigan last week and all I got was this lousy safari playset.

Today’s challenge: Make a dark, moody portrait with one light source.

Butterfly is back. And this time he’s got a little friend. (And a new lighting scheme!)

Today’s exercise was inspired by Chris McVeigh’s action figure shots. I replaced his adorable use of chipmunks with the rather boring use of gels to up the learning factor. (If only I could convince more brides to let me photograph their wedding Buckaroo Banzai-style..)
