The Light

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I have already posted a photograph of this street light before and I think that photograph worked well, but when I was shooting there again on saturday, the sky was super cloudy but so boring and grey. I decided to try something different and I shot this photograph with the white balance WAY off so that it would result in the entire photograph being blue. I like it.

Trains in Newtown

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

The whole reason we went to Newtown was so that I could shoot photographs of the trains and the railway lines under the Nelson Mandela Bridge. These are some of those images.Trains and Railway lines in Newtown Johannesburg photographed by Marcus MaschwitzTrains and Railway lines in Newtown Johannesburg photographed by Marcus MaschwitzTrains and Railway lines in Newtown Johannesburg photographed by Marcus MaschwitzTrains and Railway lines in Newtown Johannesburg photographed by Marcus MaschwitzTrains and Railway lines in Newtown Johannesburg photographed by Marcus Maschwitz

Cape Town at night

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

I forgot I shot this photograph when I was last in Cape Town and saw it now and really liked it. I remember how nervous I was parking on the bridge at night and shooting so I never stayed long. I really wish it was safer here to try this out more.Night shot on a freeway in Cape Town photographed by Marcus Maschwitz

Crazy Colours

Monday, June 25th, 2007

I shot this photo at the London Dungeon while we were in London in May and only really came across it now. It is of a carcass and I really like the way the smoke is lit up all colourful. Different and cool, I think ….

Good Lighting

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Seeing as I shoot the Tweeds a lot and enjoy working and hanging with them, all the boys sat down and spoke about lighting for a bit. They let me set up the lights the way that I wanted for their show at Zula Bar in Long Street and I shot some photographs of Cheri (Harris Tweed) to show them what it would look like. Anyway, these two photographs were shot with the exact same lighting and camera settings within minutes of each other but just at a totally different angle. Isn’t it crazy how much lighting can effect the way we see things.
