James Troi's Visual Diary

Dedication to the art. Not sure who took this shot but the team who put it together obviously had a vision, a plan and a very willing model. All that silver!

It looks great. The way the light bounces of the model’s metallic form is a great example of luminosity.

Tyler Shields has some crazy ideas and most of them seem to involved blood, death and other morbid things. But he has great lighting and great vision.

His philosophy on life and work are pretty cool though. He never takes things for granted and makes his own “luck” and works non-stop. Tyler Shields is an exceptional role model.

Lisa in the Light

Who says I can’t put one of my own photos in my Visual Diary? Probably one of my favourites of my photos.

Part of a workshop I attended. Lisa was dancing with the lightweight material, it was to be a study of movement but I could see some of the poses she was making at the end of the movements and decided to up my shutter speed to catch one.

As you can probably tell, the light isn’t coming from the window but from a tungsten set some way back in the room.
