I set up a blog until my website is up again, at the moment it is just a blogger blog linked back to my flicker account. I like this, it allows me to combine all my uploading into a nice, easy package.

Earlier this week I went out and purchased a Nikon F100, as well as a Sigma 300mm f/4 APO lens. So we're going to be seeing a lot more street portraits and general photography done on film. I will be keeping deviantart updated sparingly, so check out the blog if you want to stay up to date

Peace

P.S. I was reluctant to return to DeviantArt, but it seems as though this new Critique feature may go a long way towards ousting all the kids who think this is myspace. I look forward to seeing how the feature will aid artists looking for constructive critisism. ]]> =CDart-art http://CDart-art.deviantart.com/journal/24337318/ http://CDart-art.deviantart.com/journal/24337318/ Mon, 20 Apr 2009 04:19:38 PDT
I've quit the day job and am now putting all effort into my photography, I'll be picking up a casual job to get me by until I turn pro. That is, until I am earning enough from my photographic work to live off it.

These days I am shooting with a Nikon D80, a Nikon FM10 and a Mamiya 645 1000s. You can expect me to be getting a lot more personal with my street photography, as well as covering events and working with models. I am comfertable shooting with medium-format cameras now, so lets hope I catch a break and slip into the world of professional photography with ease.

Watch this space over the coming months, I'm ready to blow some minds.

So I went out today, not to take good pictures, but instead to do the opposite, what do you see strolling around the streets of your city? Perhaps it's not as boring as I think if I stop to take a look around once in a while.

So today, with no real purpose I took out my camera and a filter I thought would best suit the mood of the day. A rose-coloured lens maybe.

Check it out, work is titled in accordance with the time it was taken.







Peace ya'll, see yah next time. ]]> =CDart-art http://CDart-art.deviantart.com/journal/23031426/ http://CDart-art.deviantart.com/journal/23031426/ Thu, 05 Feb 2009 22:50:01 PST
Here is some flash new shit, fresh outta lightroom, mostly new street work with some smooth re-imaginings of an old photo.

Life has been pretty hectic, looking for a new job and all that jazz. Today I walked into Souh Bank and took photos of a "Doctor Who" episode in progress, I was promptly chased a way from the scene by set security. I still have some photos on film that need developing, I might post them up somewhere where fans of the show can check them. I won't be selling them to media outlets out of respect for the people involved with the show. I don't really want to be regarded as some some greedy pap faggot.

Here are some new photos from this week.







There is some 35mm shit on the way too, keep a lookout.

Peace ya'll, see yah next time. ]]> =CDart-art http://CDart-art.deviantart.com/journal/22347941/ http://CDart-art.deviantart.com/journal/22347941/ Fri, 02 Jan 2009 06:11:00 PST
Happy new year.

Every new year I set out to achieve something, last year it was to seek direction and master the technical side of photography. This is done, now this year I am turning my eye to conceptual art and design. When I was younger illustration was something I was very interested in. Then came the age of high-end CGI and whatnot whilst I was around 10 years old.

I remember the remastered Star Wars and the original Jurassic park, I had this love for epic scenes. I loved the intricacy and emotion that could be captured in something so vast and busy.

Now I grew up in a family where I wasn't able to do certain things because my father thought them to be "faggy." So when I left school and home to begin my life and my hand at art I was at a severe disadvantage. I met a girl who was my exact opposite, in a family where her father nurtured and conditioned her talent. Just watching her for the past two years has helped delve down and pull up the courage to put my head down and master another art.

I've purchased a bunch of lectures from Gnomon. My plan is continue developing my digital matte painting and to master traditional illustration means as well. I have a set of milestones I'd like to reach over the course of the year. If I can learn photgraphy in a year, I'm damned sure I can put my head down and work a pen and pad to my bidding.

Here is the last matte painting I ever created, from 2 years ago. I never put much effort into them, they were more akin to speed-paintings than production-quality mattes.



My photographic work will continue flowing in, hopefully in series and not bits and pieces. ]]> =CDart-art http://CDart-art.deviantart.com/journal/22253228/ http://CDart-art.deviantart.com/journal/22253228/ Mon, 29 Dec 2008 01:23:43 PST
This week I'm flat out working on my website and reading as much as I can in an effort to relearn CSS. Everything is going smoothly, my new alias will be launching with the new website as well, "Esotero." Let me know what you think of the type in following preview.



Worked on more macros today in my spare time, I'm also working on trying some gritty photograpy, as well as some more generic portrait work. I've got an idea and a location but I'm looking for the right model for another piece. I have an interview with a successful pro-photographer next week.

Also smashing drawing and painting tutorials like a mad cat, hopefully I'll be able to bust out some work in the near future.

You'll notice a fresh bunch of photos, I'm refining a style, finishing some work before I launch my new website and art series. The two new organic, abstract series will be available in a variety of resolutions as my first ever desktop wallpaper release. I will be working on a remixed version of this pack as well in my spare time.





This week's snapshot.


EDIT: Both wallpaper packs are now available.

Life is sweet at the moment, I've got all the shit I need to make things happen. So I'm expecting to move mountains over the next 4 months. I'll be refocusing on relearning design and teaching myself how to illustrate properly, even if it takes a few night classes. I'll be working on my photographic portfolio in the meantime and my "four_am" series.

All the while, I'll be focusing on marketing myself and getting a name by the end of 09'

Over the next few days I'll be working on concepts for my "four_am" series, so hopefully we'll see something come of that by the end of the week.
