Colleen Deary – Model Shoot

“The Cage”

Colleen and I got bored one morning, So we decided to have a photo shoot around the house, Enjoy.

All these were shot at 50mm f1.4. i just love the super soft depth of field that this little gem of a lens gives you.

All natural light with a very minor filter effect added using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

The Nkwo collection features volume created with layers of tulle, silk and the softness and fluidity of chiffon in earthly warm colours. The vibrant print fabrics come alive, with bubble hems, frill details on the necklines, tulip skirts and dresses.

The ‘print’ embroidery on her pieces is proof of her distinctive craftsmanship as a designer. It is also an exquisite complement to the fabrics as it stimulates interest in the burst, neckline and waist line of her pieces. Her collection comes off as organic; reflective of the beauty of the African soil!

How to Make a Killer Promo Shot – Digital Artwork

Do you own a Nightclub in Ibiza?   Want to make your own Promo Artwork, SIMPLE !   Just follow my 4 step plan !!

One model,  One camera, One Studio , One computer , CS3 or 4 (photoshop) and10 mins ! Thats all you need , Sorta…

Its been a while since my last Photoshop blog, so i wanted to create something fun for everyone !!  Because I am nice like that.. I thought summer style Party Promo Club might be just the thing to bring summer here ! Lets make a HEDKANDI STYLE PHOTO !!

1886  720x540 nicolastvens125200310 How to Make a Killer Promo Shot   Digital Artwork

So then STEP ONE !!

Find a model, my lovely model was Nicola Stevens, My photo was taken f4.8 @ 135mm,   A little light from either side and a blue gel from the back. A fan was used to lift the hair.  The photo was kept darker to enusre no detail was lost . I knew there was going to be loads of post pro , so i was not too worried about make up. It was more of a snap than a proper Photo Shoot…..

1882  720x540 raw off cam 2 How to Make a Killer Promo Shot   Digital Artwork

Once you have your photograph, Pop into into photoshop direct. Edit up the skin, Make up , body shapes, and all the stuff that you want to do. I use a few ticks using lens blur layers after a good going over with the stamp tool :) Blur sharpen, repeat…   If you do wanna know more about this, section…  fire me an e-mail or get a make-up artist !!

1881  720x540 edit skin 2 How to Make a Killer Promo Shot   Digital Artwork

STEP TWO !!

Create 2 new layers -

Make some funky over lays and pretty patterns.  This is very random and hit or miss.  I kept very simple and created two quick elements that sit into my comp.

These elemets very very simple and created using the Brush tool and some very simple layer styles, a simple inner glow and outer glow, A flip into screen colour mode and your done.

1885  720x540 tirwilie 2 How to Make a Killer Promo Shot   Digital Artwork

Lets work on the lighting cord. (Pen tool> creat wiggle>remove sections behind arm>add layer style)      I used a custom shape brush and a Wacom Tablet set on the airbrush mode to let me fade in and out,  a nice soft brush does work well here.

1883  720x540 roundthings 2 How to Make a Killer Promo Shot   Digital Artwork

Here I again made a custom brush for my fake Bokeh effect. (create brush shape>edit brush settings>paint>done !!)    Once you have your settings for the brush its half the battle.  You dont have to make your own brush.. but i think its cool.  The settings…  F5 will make your brush manager pop if you have not got it open. play around with some stuff in there like size and shizzle.. I dont really want to say what i used.. just play and see. Its a very very Powerful tool.

1884  720x540 roundthngscolour 2 How to Make a Killer Promo Shot   Digital Artwork

After you have made your layer,  add about 3 or 4 more layers..  paint some whacky colours on there (one colour per layer)  , Pop them into colour mode (blending layer)  and see your Bokeh colour up !!  This should start to colour your background photo now too..

STEP THREE !!

Colour up your photo and merge it all !!

You should almost have your comp done.. A few more colour layers set to Colour blend mode and some more whacky colours should start to build up the over all photo..

1879  720x540 6 2 How to Make a Killer Promo Shot   Digital Artwork

Dont be worried if your photo looks like this  !!  its cool..   Build it up duplicate the layer, add some Lens Blur, Screen mode , sharpen this.. add that and add back in your  elements you make and Bingp Bango

1880  720x540 compose and colour 2 How to Make a Killer Promo Shot   Digital Artwork

Watch it all come together..

STEP FOUR !!

Opps.. ok .. so only 3 steps..   Erm..  ADD MORE LAYERS , work some cool layer styles and build build build !!   Dont be worried about trying things !   I have about 20 odd layers in mine.. some pure blue layers, some blurred up layers.  Lots of screen mode layers. God Bless the Alpha Channel !!

All Time Low – Live Music

The All TIME LOW

The first time I had heard of the The All  Time Low was an album called Punk go Crunk, They did cool cover of Umbrella by R&B singer Rihanna. I am big fan of Punked up covers so I kinda thought  I would be a fan of band live.  Turns out the best thing about this band was how they party after the show. Which is not leave you in any doubt about how good they are live. Amazing, does come close to there stage presence. But the Double Jack that I was bought after..  well .. Thank you.

These photos are from the Birmingham leg of the Kerrang! Relentless Tour 2010 With The Blackout, My Passion and Young Guns.

All Time Low Hail from from Baltimore, Maryland,  they formed back in 2003

So far they have 3 releases

  • The Party Scene (2005)
  • So Wrong, It’s Right (2007)
  • Nothing Personal (2009)
1842  720x740 alltimelowbhx014300110 copy All Time Low   Live Music

These boys are ones to watch for sure.  American Pop Rock for the Win.  But when a band formed to play Blink songs and named them after a New Found Glory Lyric, It was never going to bad.

The band was eventually selected as Alternative Press Magazine’s Band of the Year for 2008
