Envy!


The design brief was to produce shop signage for a hair salon 
incorporating a matrix of stylized portraits behind a 
rich, sinfully-coloured title "Envy"...

 

 

 

....images from a photolibrary were assembled to form the
background matrix and manipulated in photo software packages
to created a hazy but glamorous background...


...and a few trial graphic titles added for illustration - the 
final version would be in elegant, scripted lettering and would
be applied to an transparent acrylic sheet fixed by spacers in front 
of the images of the staff themselves !

A bit of fun with ultra-long exposure!


The Shore


Great sky over Nairn's West Beach c.1980
*note the salmon nets in the water to the lower right of the picture and the oil rig at Ardersier in theleft mid-distance preparing for float-out.





Might crop it for framing in a watercolour style too...

Italian Lakes? or Wemyss Bay!

Picturesque view from the top of the hill above Wemyss Bay rail station on the Clyde!

Loch Alvie at Allt Dibheach


Found an old print I had made in my darkroom around 1978 - taken on a Pentax K1000 SLR 





This scan has been tidied up to remove scratches, etc and will probably be printed onto canvas shortly...in a more landscape format possibly.
