Thanks for looking through all of those! And thanks to Natalie, Dave and Alex for helping me to edit down my long list from a ton of photos to what you see here.
















some terrific photos here, adrian. well done. especially looking forward to next year’s batch of blackdrops.
yeah, those black and whites are killer. How do you do those? I assume you aren’t walking around town with a big black blanket…
Thanks, Scott and Oz.
Oz, I do some of them at my place, but yeah, I’ve brought a big piece of velvet along with my camera/ flash/ etc to shows to do them as well.
I guess that velvet doubles as a superhero cape, so you’re killing two birds with one stone.
