Looking back at Last year

I've  been looking at my old work, which I've shoot last year.

I found a pic of Ariana, she it now Working with Oxygen Models I decided to re-edit the photo. Out of boredom and Just for the practice reasons. 

Camera:Nikon D700 + 70-200mm VRII

Photographer: Bugra Ergil (Bruce)
Stylist: Anastasia Taneeva
Makeup: Rempi
Model: Ariana

Lighting Info: (I don't usually share this) 
2 Kinoflo almost infront of her and 1 Honeycomb flash from behind as seen.
Combination of Continues and Strobe light.

By the way when I said Ariana now working with Oxygen Models I mean she wasn't working with them back in the time when I photographed her. This became some what a issue couple of month ago when my friend sent a PDF of my work to them and asking for a "New Face" model. They were keep telling her that Ariana was Oxygen Model which wan't mentioned in PDF, but Logically speaking she wasn't a Oxygen model dunting the time I was working with her. 

Behind the Scenes - Expressions Project

Here are some photos that I snapped while I was shooting the 5 week long expression project. 

Gina Harrison looking at me and my ancient Minolta X700. I was saying Who needs insagram when you have Analog Camera, Processing/Dark Room + Skills . . . and a film scanner which is not calibrated or something because the film comes out all fase color. 

One of my favorite Makeup artist & Friend Laura Kate Rzemienicka. Putting makeup to her self to test or we are going to Hyde Park to suntan ?

Alice Bizarre, All confident with her work. . . She says "Trust me I am Alice Bizarre" In Alice We Trust. 

Laura Kate Photoshopping, I believe if you watch some one do photoshop for 11 hours you can pickup a thing or two. Here is the proof :)

Angry Strobist is Angry . . .

Weeks ago I found a blog that Copies photos form Flickr group page and then posts them on a blog named StobistPlus.

When I saw that I asked in the Stobist discussion board, is it real or fake or how many strobist blogs are there?
The Post got the attention of some people and the manin guy Strobist (David Hobby).

I took screen shots of my post and his reply.

Wow if I could hear sound of his post I'd say the post is loud and angry. 

In my opinion David has the right to be angry about this blog, imagine that you do something great, build a internet community about photography and off camera flash then one guy comes and not only copies the idea but also thousands of posts and photos. 

Almost everything in internet can be copied, downloaded, or duplicated so my advice to you (to the readers if you exist or read) don't upload print size images and commercial work every where online. 

Shoot me Like "Terry" - 2

Something new that I've started. Spoke like Yoda I have . . . 

Camera: Nikon D700 + 24-70

After many people asked me to shoot them like "Terry" I come up with an idea . . . to shoot them like terry DUH . . ..
Well now when ever I am shooting, assisting, or some how included in a production of fashion shoot or fashion film I'll ask the model if I can shoot her like the way I want which is out of the topic.
In here my Friend and colleague Olgac Bozalp asked me to do lighting for his shoot and then I snapped this with my own light little setup. (1x SB900 + small softbox)

I asked the lovely model Jude to be her self infront of the camera and go crazy if she wants to, I didn't want to direct her in to a pose she might not like I just wanted to photograph the clear beauty.

The shoot me like "Terry" concepts are only for blog and documentary reasons. (maybe more in future, who knows what the future holds huh?)
