aged french oak pt.1

i purchased an old french oak barrel as a prop for an upcoming project and was pleasantly surprised by by its inner beauty. it was interesting to see the crystalized sugars stuck to the barrel, which combined with the stained wood made for a few unexpected images.

"make me a bicycle clown"

welcome back. here is a very long overdue blog post, i've been busy with projects and a studio remodel (which i will elaborate on soon) and have neglected sharing anything via the blog.

here are a few images from a test i did with art director jenny fort, the concept was a simple exercise in graphic abstractions. she had the idea of doing something with balloons, the type clowns like to use. we both found that making shapes out of balloons is harder than it seems and if we were to continue the project would consider hiring an actual clown. we set out to do a few variations of each color but popped so many in the process that these were what we were left with. the purple are my favorites and working with jenny was a lot of fun. more tests to come..

one too many.

its happened to all of us, when you just don't know when to say when and everything you look at comes in threes. this is the first of a new series on the effects of some of our favorite beverages.

the visual effects your looking at were created in-camera using multiple stobe pops on one capture.

enjoy responsibly.
