First, I got a brand new NIKON D5000 for this new proyect, pheew! I’m a total noob with SLRs but I learned by now how to adjust lots of stuff it wasn’t possible with my old Canon S3 IS. I’m in love!
Second, I made myself a new notebook of stolen paper from work (yay) and carton to start working on a more detailed level in my ideas. I hope to start photoshoots within two weeks. So this week will consist on purchasing and collecting props and more importantly MODELS. I have a few girls on my mind I hope they have the time to help me out. I’m writing all those lists for now.
And… self-portraits with SLR’s are though to pull off. Tried. Textures from my last post 🙂
Back to my notebook

These are some other textures I made some weeks ago. (Need to make new ones).
Download if you’d like to use them!

Mask concept.
I started this as a preliminary image of a story I’m now dismissing for not having any solid base. It was a great exercise anyway as I was getting a little rusty on composition and lightning. The image is far from perfect, I even started to hate it some weeks ago, but now I appreciate the result as a part of a very pleasant process. I always try to not get lost with my meanings and concepts, difficult thing when I tend to over compose my images adding too many elements. In the end what surfaces are the most important details in it, that’s what I like about this one, the enthralling moment of losing her human form with no witnesses but silent creatures.
Out of need (and a bit of boredom), I make once in a while my own textures. Is an easy way to have a distinct look in my artworks and have fun. Later on, when I have more refined textures I’ll share it for you to download. For now:
Golden paint, crayons and a random sharp object. Now that I see this, I feel like doing the same with curly lines…

On a not very pleasant night, I start this blog, one more lost in a vast pile of pictures and words. This little site will remain as a place to keep track of my progress, and why not show my process for others to learn something new or just feed curious eyes once in a while.
This year I’ll hopefully (ok, I MUST) finish my career, so I’m planning a professional portfolio based solely on my work as a photo-montagist. Concepts, preliminary images, inspiration, process, and behind cameras will be posted here with no exception!
