blades of light

Jan Murphy — 2007-10-29T00:00:00Z

]]> B&w it just had to be really. The lighting filters through nicely on this and being high key added to the strength. I like the way the shadows fall on the body and the form and lines of the subject.

tombs

]]> As the nun peeks over the gravestone, the light filters through the image suggesting that it could be daylight or moonlight - you decide.

sultry

Jan Murphy — 2007-10-27T00:00:00Z

]]> The model lays pondering.... I love the way the flash worked out on this one - used a ring flash to make it moody and captured the expression the way I wanted

east meets west

Jan Murphy — 2007-10-26T00:00:00Z

]]> Strong stare over the blade of the sword, with intention at the camera. Rifle in hand, knife in the other - perfect mix of the two cultures I thought.

strung up or out?

Jan Murphy — 2007-10-25T00:00:00Z

]]> Like a shot from blair witch (although not as eerie) I think. Who is out there? Will she be saved? What is she looking at? Gets you wondering... or does it?

ghost swordsman

]]> Love the way you cannot see who holds the sword in this image. I used curves to do this, wonderful arnt they? The female model has a great dead face too, superb.

smoke curls

Jan Murphy — 2007-10-23T00:00:00Z

]]> Some call them smoke rings but this one definitely has a curl to it. Lightly tinted b/w image. I like it for no other reason then the smoke if honest.

Go away!

]]> As she backs against the wall, she is almost daring you to come forward, to get in her space. You darent. I wouldnt enter this realm, you can almost feel the danger should you try.

eye to eye

Jan Murphy — 2007-10-21T00:00:00Z

]]> The strength of the eye contact in this image is incredibly powerful.... I wonder if others see it the same way. Knowing the model, it changes ones perspective I guess.

Jan Murphy — 2007-10-20T00:00:00Z

]]> Shows the models other personality if you like. The innocent almost child-like side. Stood by a cart, it was the perfect backdrop and a gorgeous pink colour too just to make it right.

abstract hands

Jan Murphy — 2007-10-19T00:00:00Z

]]> This is part of my project towards my Abstract Photographic book due out end of next year.

my shoes

Jan Murphy — 2007-10-18T00:00:00Z

]]> My possession, do not come near my shoes! It screams this doesnt it? Model huge shoe lover and we wanted to capture this and get across in a style that suited us both.
