Acid City

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.

Everything is Nothing but Everything

Magda


My apologies that I wasn't in the most sharing of moods yesterday. Bit of a rough day, but anyway back to the show today!

This lovely young lady is Magda Stoltman. I was definitely going for a grungier, more punk rock-ish look for this set. Black and white with only the pink left in helps create a very striking palate. The torn edges filter gives it that grungy, rough around the edges kind of feel.



This set was actually shot quite a few years ago. It was one of three sets I shot down at "Graffiti Alley" near Queen West that day. This set was by far my favorite but I'm sure I'll share the other work one of these days.

As always, still looking for subjects to shoot. I offer a small honorarium and of course a set of high quality photos. I'll provide both a clean set (no Photoshop work other than brightness/contrast and light colour correct) and whatever composite sets I do afterward. I usually do 3 or 4 variations. If you're interested drop me a line at Christopher.b.bell@gmail.com.

Lottery Ticket Art



Saw this today over at Inhabitat.com. Cool kind of social statement, extravagant items plastered with lottery tickets.



Be sure to head on over to Inhabitat and read the full article.

Beach Kiss





Today I'm featuring my second preview of a piece for the show I will be participating in on August 21st (full details this week). This piece is called "Beach Kiss". It's originally a photo from a wedding I attended in Jamaica a couple years ago.



My original inclination had been to go with the piece below as a show piece. I think it's a very nice shot and the black and white with the yellow flower effect is nice, unfortunately I also think it's a cliche that has been done to death.
