I See You, Through The Night Veil

I See You, Through The Night Veil, a photo by Toni Wallachy on Flickr.

This image is a compilation of a few different creative visionaries that have blessed my creative life path.

The hard shadow vs light, monochrome is from my luv of the works as seen from Neil Snape Photography. And the initial set-up and creative seeing from a new creativity soul that I just met - Allan Kliger.

A huge call out to both of you who influenced my creative side today.

Día de Muertos

Día de Muertos, a photo by Toni Wallachy on Flickr.

Breaking the Rules ...


How many times have you heard me say, "you cant break the rules until you know them??" Well, here is one such example of breaking the rules.


In our studio and field mentoring sessions we always say look for the catch light in the eyes. The eye's need to be alive. But when you have an amazing subject matter and set design that says "I need to be like the walking dead" ... then lifeless eyes, are maybe what you need to convey the story and emotion. I think it works extremely well for this Día de Muertos image.

Romantic Interlude

Romantic Interlude, a photo by Toni Wallachy on Flickr.

In our studio sessions, I really like to encourage the folks to shoot off strobe on bulb. The results can produce such amazing and surprising images that can be molded into incredible master pieces. It truly has become one of my favorite techniques, as it allows me to more easily process images, inspired by the old world impressionists which I absolutely love

Just imagine this piece printed large on canvas or a warm Hahnemühle rag.

Its been awhile since i have up-loaded a few images from our studio sessions. This shoot came together via a collaborative combination of a few attending participants, and a vision that i had wanted to do for a while.

Hot

Hot, a photo by Toni Wallachy on Flickr.

There is this infamous image that is embedded in mind, of a dude reclining in a chair listen to a speaker system that is soo loud that it's practically blowing him away. To this day I cant remember what the band was or the product that they were selling, but I remember the image. This is my inspirational take of it.

50 Shades of Haunting Beauty

50 Shades of Haunting Beauty, a photo by Toni Wallachy on Flickr.

The original plan was to shoot outside with bright blue skies where we could play with shadow and light. Although the sun did peak out a few times to tease us, we really had to wait till dusk for a chance to recreate the visions in our heads.

This was taken outside in the back loading dock our my studio, with a small light modifier to fill and create drama.
