A place to post your personal work (ie not commissioned)

AND I got a bit of a chuckle out of them so I am grateful for that too.

These shots make photography more like film making because of the elaborate set-designs and lighting.

Fun stuff!!

Walter, I get a chuckle out of them too, and wonder what they'll be used to promote. They're obviously advertising shots, and very good ones.

But actually, every time you raise a camera, look through the viewfinder, and click the shutter you MAKE a picture. The only time you'd actually TAKE a picture would be if you put the camera behind your back and shot backwards without looking.

That may well be the theory but, sadly, it is seldom the reality with a lot of what is seen and shown.

Hey Walter, they are personal shots and not advertisings. I shoot them for fun and to try out ideas.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! :)
