The Milky Tunik

July 20, 2009 – 10:34

Today I would like to share an image from a liquids series.

A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to work under the eye of a great guy and amazing photographer Andrey Razoomovski from Razooma.net. I was looking to hear about his approach and to improve my techniques. It is great when someone can share with you their experience and help you to avoid making similar mistakes.

I have always been thrilled by his work, but to experience full speed action – it was really something …

Getting back to the topic…
Since the image is published, after long hours of the postproduction I can finally post my version here.
Todays picture features the amazing Marta in the Milky Tunic!

Before you ask – The Milk is not photoshopped… well it is actually … but no, it is not… ;-)

Preparation is always eating time, but this kind of shoot requires a lot more than usual. You need to consider the studio space, health and safety, remember that in the end it is liquid and electricity – a combo which might be not the best for the model if something goes wrong…
… and one more thing… you can smell the milk for days after the shoot… and it is quite an odd scent…

Stay tuned, more to come soon!

Cheers
Jaroslav

“DON’T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR MEDICINE…”

June 6, 2009 – 17:53

Being a big fan of cinema since I was a child, I was always collecting movie posters of my favourite films.

So these days when I can really appreciate the work that both photographers and graphic editors put in to create fantastic artwork to advertise motion pictures, I am starting this series as a tribute to all those artist who for years have stimulated my imagination.
This is also going to be my quasi mental therapy to keep me sane after hours of everyday stuff I am doing to pay the bills.

Today we will kick off and start with simple work but which is very important for me.

“Don’t forget to take your medicine…”

Inspired by amazing comic book artist Frank Miller – from his work my favourite has to be Sin City! Years before the movie I was reading this series like crazy :-] and Aaron Nace who who is a very talented photographer and came out with the idea which was used for the reference picture.

I was so relieved when it was made into a movie which was nearly as good as the book!

Cheers
