Portraits

Just a quick selection of portraits.

Berlin Lomography

Berlin is one of my most favourite cities, I've been there many times, it's steeped in history and has a special alternative cool side to it aswell. I took these shots while interrailing around Europe 2 years ago but only recently developed the film. Taken with Lomo LC-A on Lomography X-Pro 200 film.

Fun Diana Mini

The Diana Mini is a tiny beaut of a camera. It takes either half-frame or a square photo on a 35mm film.
This is just a quick fun selection of shots from my recent trip to Berlin.

Tilt Shift

Tilt Shift Photography is method of photography used for selective focus of an image and is often used for miniature faking, ie an photo of a life-size location  manipulated to give the illusion of a miniature scale model. Special tilt shift lenses can be used to take the photos or the image can be manipulated in photoshop. The latter is what I used for these photos. I found an action for photoshop that I used on my original photographs to create these images. The main features of miniature faking are shallow depth of field, and high saturation of the colours the mimic the bright paint used on models. Here is a selection of my photos that I edited. The change of perspective is really interesting and can really give life to photo.
