Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting Blackstorm for some new promo images. A quick set up on a very cold morning before the guys headed to the studio to begin work on new material.
With a bit of luck I will have something posted by the end of this week.
Sink porn, is a term I had not heard until just before Christmas when I was invited to join a Flickr group who took photographs of sinks in various states. Curiously, I myself have been documenting my shaving habits over the last few years regularly snapping various sinks where I have departed with facial hair into their ceramic bowels.
I wanted to try something completely different with this incantation, as the last was quite hard to manage with a timer and wireless remote. This time I let the camera do the work, setting up a fixed focal point using a Nikkor F1.8 50mm prime lens on my Nikon D300s and then attaching it to a laptop to do a time lapse.
Because it provided quite a lot of images, I didn’t want to post all of them into Flickr because there are too many things that go wrong when you do that with Flickr (like the fact it doesn’t stick to the the sequence based on the meta or file name), so I have converted it using the Lightroom 3 Beta into a MP4 video file.
I was very happy to get a link passed through from Nedry, to let me know they’ve been featured in The Guardian newspapers band a day series.

A really nice write up, which I think sums up their style quite nicely and includes one of my photos with full credit. Always nice where it can be done.
I have been having great success with the video features on the Nikon D300s, after shooting a live performance of Here There Be Monsters last year at Concorde2, and experimenting with a few techniques over the Christmas period, I got another opportunity to put it to more commercial use this month.
I received a call one afternoon from Garage Studios asking if I could do still and film a large fashion editorial shoot they had planned for that evening, seeing a great opportunity to go a little ‘doco’ I said yes indeed.
My good friend Adam Bronkhorst of Garage Studios, has begun his next portraiture project, this time rather than using retro camera’s, a lowly iPhone is his weapon of choice.
