Hey first post! I'm a photographer out of Chicago, IL and I make epic, cinematic, story-based images. Check out some Geralt from the #witcher I made earlier this year with IG/thefanged4

Hey check out one of my recent photo projects. These two had such great details which is always a treat to capture. We lucked out with the weather too!

Maidens of the Spear

Chiad and Bain from the Wheel of Time (Amazon series). These were a 2-month, 2-person effort to bring to life. Erin handled all fabric parts, I made all leathers and weapons (with 3d print help). I couldn't be more proud 🧡

As an artist that loves rethinking process and techniques I can tell you that the one thing that isn't productive is frequently rethinking your motive for why you make things. Just find your reason and lean into it and save the identity crisis energy for making actual art.

This is really beautiful.

This tutorial by Jeremy Vickery is great practice for photographers as well as painters. If you can't draw just download a coloring book for practice and think about where the light should go for impact and mood.

Very fortunate that beautiful locations like this exist near me to capture #MariaRenard in. I'd, of course, take going to Europe any day, but the gothic vibe was perfect.

Wandering down the rabbit hole of books that are actually games and ran across this gem. Which is a 4 part series BTW

Also at the end is one of the best times to ask about goals if you want to optimize planning for next session. Why prep for all the things when you can prep for just the direction they've picked and the next step in each player's goal?

Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable as I do more with video. I am finding problems with every attempt but also learning fast from mistakes and gaining powers. Sometimes you just have go suck at something for a while until you don't. As long as you don't give up you'll get there.

That's the nice thing about this platform is that you can make things at your own pace.

All of my photo art has a really fun memory tied to it. Either visiting a location or running into unique people or even things going wrong we laugh about now. It's like a surreal scrapbook of fantasy anchors to moments in reality. I don't want any of those memories to just be well I typed a prompt.

I appreciate this platform letting me operate at the speed of an artist vs cranking out daily nonsense under threat of being being restricted. Recently I found ig demotes single image posts. I'm no Leonardo da Vinci but imagine the insanity of Mona Lisa getting tossed because it's only one painting.

InfinitySpiral - Photographer @infinityspiral.bsky.social · Sep 7

Hey thanks! I really enjoyed making this one

InfinitySpiral - Photographer @infinityspiral.bsky.social · Sep 6

I'm glad you like I'm trying some new things lately!

InfinitySpiral - Photographer @infinityspiral.bsky.social · Sep 6

This might be my favorite in this photo set of Maria from Castlevania. You really get to see a lot of the little details that went into it.

As a digital artist I find some new revelation to using curves every few years:
1. General contrast
2. RGB contrast
3. RGB vs CMY
3. Curves with layer modes
4. Saturation vs luminosity
5. Curve locking
6. Filmic curves
7. Subtractive RGB
8. Color space middle gray
9. Preventing breakage

First preview of Maria photoshoot! Chris is a master of finding a small space like a corner stairwell and making it into a castle level.
Can you spot the Easter egg?

I headed to Bristol's cosplay weekend with my friend @etaru-to-you.bsky.social last Sunday and we got some casual Keira photos just wandering around. Worth the heat and humidity!

Nothing feels more real than a hero with some issues especially if the struggle is internal :)
