Eagle And Scythe

August 29, 2011 · Filed under Tattoo portfolio 2008 · Tagged , ,

I am very happy with how this sleeve came out on Joel, and really pleased with how the photographs of his tattoo look even though they are fresh and bloody in places.

These pictures are the first ones taken with my new lenses for my camera.

My kit is now a Canon 5dii, Canon Speedlite 430EX II flash with aftermarket beauty dome reflector, Canon OC-E3 EOS Dedicated TTL Off-Camera Shoe Cord (I try to bounce my flash off the walls/and ceiling behind me. I hope in the future to pick up a Canon 580EX II Flash and a Canon Speedlite Transmitter St-e2), the only two lenses I use now are (I had to sell everything else to get these) Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 2/50, and Zeiss Planar T* 1,4/85.

Thank you.

Surrender

August 11, 2011 · Filed under 2011 · Tagged ,

Last Friday I got to work on Jesse’s arm and as I finally remembered to take my flash to work i was able to take some good photographs.

I also go to work on three new pieces for Jonathan which we were able to finish in one sitting.

Lastly I did the second sitting in three days on Christian who made the trip over from Norway.

A little bit of a cover up in this one.

Thank you for looking.
