Recently I stumbled across an image of director David Lynch shot by Nadav Kander which injected me with a firey does of inspiration. The portrait’s tone got me wanting to mess around with ways to colour images of my own. I am a huge fan of portraiture and Kander’s approach has lit a fire under my ass. So much so that on the same day I shot off three pics of family and friends. This is my first attempt and is pretty much copycat but I’m gonna expand and refine a technique of my own off of these. I have a whole series in mind I want to shoot, so keep your eyes peeled.

The last shot of Jacki (www.jackibruniquel.com) was shot just after she was done cutting onions. She walked out the kitchen all teary-eyed so I asked her play along. Can’t help but wanting to give her a hug and tell her that in the end everything will be alright, if it’s not, it’s not the end!

On Friday I flew down to Cape Town for  the “Halloween Jam” BMX comp, which took place in Durbanville at the infamous Gum Trails. The event was awesome with most of the riders dressing the part too.

So as the sun was setting and the jam drew to a close I grabbed Stephen Savage who was dressed in a home made dinosaur suit and we ran into the field by the jumps. Savage is always down for fun and has so much patience. Enough to let me play around with some ideas like these. What I wasn’t counting on was Colin and Wayne running in and supplying me with the opportunity to shoot a shot I have totally fallen in love with. So here is a post that’s long overdue with my most recent shots.
