So it's Monday morning, I'm feeling crappy and I don't feel much like blogging today. But I will leave you with this set, entitled "Spots of Light". This was taken a few years ago at the Toronto Brickworks before it was all filled in. It was one of the best photo spots in the city.
You can check out the complete set at my fanpage here.
So those of you who are members of my fanpage over on Facebook got to see this when it went up on Sunday. This is probably the last set of photos that I will pull from my shoot with the lovely Ally Spongr a few weeks ago.
Working on this set has affirmed my love of the "Halftone Pattern" filter in Photoshop. I love the comic book-y feel it lends things when applied properly. I'm thinking about taking this to the next logical step and creating a web comic using a similar method. I'm currently brainstorming ideas, we'll see if anything comes of it.
So hopefully this week will be a little more productive than last week. I hope to have a new installment of my "Inspiration" series. I'll also preview another exhibition that I'm part of that will be opening this Saturday. I'll have information on how you can follow me on Facebook, and I'll also have a new local artist feature. So be sure to check back throughout the week to see what's going on.
This mornings work is taken from a series entitled "White Spaces". The photos that were used for this series were originally taken at a party a few years ago. This was my first series to drift towards the clean white look that I use quite frequently these days. The individual pictures themselves all feature different filters and composites, but they all feature a similar clean look.
This morning brings another piece with model Jen Britton. This one, entitled "Cut Out", was created using primarily, you guessed it, the cut out filter in Photoshop. Using that and a bunch of colour tweaks I was able to create the unique look of this picture.
So I've been a little negligent the past few days. A busy weekend, including my show on Saturday has kept me away. However, I'm back in the saddle this morning and I bring you "Whispering Red". This is the first piece of digital art from my shoot with Ally a couple weeks ago. This plays on a recent trend of mine of applying filters on top filters to get some unique looks.
More great stuff from my shoot with Ally today. This is from a set up we did in Graffiti Alley down near Queen Street West.
I really like the high contrast and the side light. The graffiti makes the pictures very colourful and vibrant. I'm very much looking forward to working with Ally again in the future.
This is the third preview leading up to the exhibition I'm participating in at Studio 561 this Saturday. This picture, entitled "Waiting for a Train", is a highly altered photo from a photoshoot that I was less than pleased with. As opposed to other photos from the set, the original for this piece isn't terrible but it isn't particularly enthralling either. 
This is the first of several posts forth coming from the shoot I did last week with Ally. I'm fairly pleased with the results considering it was very much a last minute kind of thing.
Also this week I will have the remaining three previews for my exhibit this Saturday as well as the details for that event. Stay tuned, lots of exciting stuff on the way!
This is a fairly old piece. The original picture was taken right when I first got my current camera. As for the rest of it? Well let's just say it's mostly the product of boredom. Essentially this piece shows what can happen from just playing around in Photoshop.
