Oh, and the girl doing one handed pushups on the dancefloor? Yeah, so good.
]]>There’s not much I can say about these two that isn’t evident in the photos below. They’re SO much fun and are completely in love with each other. Can’t wait to shoot their wedding later this summer
]]>A lot of the old buildings in this alley still had stenciled lettering and logos from businesses that have long since gone under, and it was fun to see and capture them. Below is a view looking up above an old doorway that once invited passers by to a ‘Peoples Lunch’…hope you enjoy!
]]>I almost kept walking right past this scene on my way to the older, grungier parts of this alleyway, but I stopped myself to compose this shot. Those numbered grey loading bays and the contrasting yellow pillars were just begging to be bracketed
]]>I would never have thought to take this photo if I hadn’t connected with some great urbex photographers recently. Although I don’t think I can really classify this shot as urbex since this spot is far from abandoned, it definitely has a nice grungy, dirty feel. As soon as I saw this scene I immediately thought of the work of Brian Matiash, Bob Lussier and Jacques Gudé. The grungy barrels and brick, and especially that single old chair, reminded me of the great work all three of these photogs produce on a daily basis. So, this shot is my homage to them…thanks for the inspiration, fellas!
Oh, and as for the title of the post…while in the process of taking a set of closeup brackets of the chair and barrels, I was almost hit by that door being opened by two cooks coming out for a smoke break in the alley. I conceded the chair to them after my last exposure was done
]]>I was immediately drawn to the large glass brick windows of this old sandstone building. The contrast of the blues and greens of the glass against the yellows of the sandstone made for a really cool scene. After tonemapping these brackets, I added an extra contrast and brilliance layers in Nik Color Efex Pro to bring out the texture in the sandstone and the colour in the glass bricks.
