grundgy art

i havnt been here in a while i know.. i apologize to my 2 followers :) but i do this for myself, no one else..

polka dot treat

i have been quiet for a while but i have kept myself busy.

the unseen light

there is light everywhere,

given enough time and enough patience,

you will glimpse the unexpected and the magic.

 

an experiment in light, i like

grab some ass

a funny variation on my hand couture series, idea by the model. turned out to be a handful :)

lights, camera, satisfaction

i love available light..

from a directory long long ago

.... dot dot dot

anneke

well my trip up country had it's downs and luckily also it's ups. i didn't shoot nearly as much i had hoped to shoot but i am gratefull for the people i was able to meet and got to photograph. be on the look out for a new addition to my hand couture series coming soon.

the night

nadia in twilight

 

i love shooting at night, so much richness and color and beauty.. i still can't decide which of the pics form this series to pick, they are all awesome.

 

sorry i've been away for a while, went to johannesburg for some work with local magazines there and i also had to attend my grandfathers funeral, he was an awesome man, may he be blessed in heaven! im back now and work is crazy busy, so much to do and so little time..

pure beauty

this girl, nadia, had an amazing raw energy infront of the camera with amazing skin, no retouching on the skin in this picture at all, quiet yet inposing and oozing sex appeal. more images to follow..

why am i bothering

ok this is going to be a very depressing blog post but i have good reason.. why am i bothering updating this blog, no one even knows about or reads it? second, it seems my grandad is dare i say.. dying.. he is 90 years old and the most awesome man i know. he lives too far away & i cant get to him till next week and i'm all alone and miserable today. fuck it all..

along came a woman

an oldie but goldie.. i have so many pictures in my archives, sometimes you just need to take em out and dust em off to look brand new..

sleeping beauties

some old work..

loving hands

another in the "hand couture" series. thanks to this lovely couple there will be three more pics in my new collection, awesome stuff guys, thanks alot for lending a hand :)

i heart mirrors

i don't know or can't think of something to blurb about today.. i suffered a bad migraine yesterday which luckily subsided later on. i fnally managed to catch up on all the outstanding editing work i have had to do. i need to plan a decent vacation.. i need to prepare for next monday and tuesday, going thru some tough tests to prove my toughness to o-sensei, i'll probably be out of commission for a week after that :) looking forward to it..

award time

i'm delighted to have found out today that 5 of the 50 or so images i entered for the profotoawards viewable at http://www.profotoawards.co.za/ has been selected under the people's choice photo of the year category. be very nice followers do as your told and please go vote for one of my images :)

 

3 nudes and 2 self portraits

a deserted house

outfits supplied by model and makeup by model

long ago in a deserted house

there lived a woman, and this woman was restless

she was looking for something, something deep

she was hardheaded, she was a woman in love

and a woman in love is thinking about these things

so we left the house, got into a boat and sailed away

just a silly little ?poem? lol, no! it's just mangled lyrics from a Laurie Anderson song..

shift + 4 on your keyboard equals something

she is beautiful, i was inspired to shoot so much but had so little time..

 

yes it equals the amount of money you have to pay when you buy an adobe product these days... they are just getting too pricey, dont ya think?? photoshop cs4, let's hope it works well..

human excogitation part1

pregnant women are just so beautiful, i really don't know what it is. but they are beautiful. to all the women of the world who give their bodies for an experiment in excogitation, i salute you!

m.i.a.

missing in action, i love those words.. i have been struggling with a neck problem for some time which is affecting my ulnar nerve so my arm is in pain the whole day, not sleeping well & even my chiro is avoiding my calls for help. it seems my sanity is going m.i.a. i want to shoot more, everyday, started shooting pregnant woman a while ago and i like it, they have a glow, something is happening to them, to their bodies, they all seem so beautiful to me, maybe my urge to become a father myself one day. for me it's all m.i.a. at the moment.. work work work and no play makes jack a dull boy.
