Thanks for stopping by my website. By exploring these pages you’ll get a pretty good idea of my photography interests and efforts. While I do update this site often, I more regularly upload images to Instagram https://instagram.com/iandavis.photography

Recently, I stepped back from my usual land -, water-, nightscape photography and photographed people. I’ve always photographed people but I very rarely used a model as the subject. For me, at least, it’s challenging to work with people.

One such print, The Discoverers, is one print made up from 4 individual photos. My goal was to produce a print with a watercolour feel to them. When this final image was printed on a very high quality, etching-type paper, I achieved my goal.

Without going into too much detail on how I shot this, I set up a white backdrop in my kitchen, used a combination of LED shop lights, 2 off-camera flashes, and placed staggered plants (and a globe) on various stools and stands to create a sense of depth. My intention was to intentionally over-expose the image to allow the models’ features to shine through. I’m very pleased with the result and will work on this concept with others.

The other two photos, Is Anyone Out There and Man Sitting in a Lake have similar pre-production element so I’ll spare you the details. But contact me if you are curious on how I shot them.
