I’ve got a couple of upcoming projects which include artwork for E.Ps, some fashion stuff and some promo work, so I figured it was time for me to try out some studio stuff.
I’ve always noticed that a lot of inside artwork on solo artist albums are just random shots in different poses with plenty of room for lyrics, so wanted to give it a try. I’ve thrown together a low-budget studio as I slowly start gathering the
necessary equipment. (It’s amazing what you can do with some white sheets and some garden lighting!)
The only problem of course being the lack of model. Self-portraits; not only make me uncomfortable but are also very hard to do well. It’s a frustrating process of trying to find the right settings, trying to focus and frame the shot without somebody standing there and then move into position before the timer goes off.
The one good thing was I’m not used to shooting in such a bright enviroment. At this stage I’ve grown used to badly lit
venues and rooms, but now I’m open to a whole new set of rules to play with and try break.
So I’m extending an open invitation to anybody interested in being a model!? If anybody out there is interested in getting some alternative portraits, tattoo pics or promotional shots done then give me a shout and we can sort something out.
You can either leave a comment here on the blog or get in touch with me on myspace or bebo.

11|Feb|2008 4Ross, the amount of actors (amateur and professional) that are looking for headshots is huge. Plus its very very hard to find photographers that do actors headshots. If you’re looking for models, it might be worth hitting a few actors forums and such like and offering profiles in exchange for some modelling time.
Unless you’re actually looking for people to touch themselves and play with sex toys and such like. You don’t fool me Costigan.

11|Feb|2008 5Okay, that’s weird! I actually took a booking to do some head shots today!?
If you know anybody looking for them then send them my way dude!
And yes of course I want to take pictures of people touching themselves and playing with sex toys, but it’s kinda hard to just come out and say it on the blog!

I am indeed, it’ll be a while before I have time to do a shoot at the moment though. I’ve got a huge backlog of work and the final stretch of college ahead of me. But once that’s done we can definitely sort something out dude.
Any ideas of the kind of shots you’d like?
