Making pictures

This week we needed to update the website with some new Wax Cag pictures as we've just finished our first batch of 38" chest Cags. Taking photos of accessories is fairly straightforward, we just get out a white light cube, plonk them on the table, light them and more or less get shooting. Clothes are far more problematic, they really need to be modelled to be shown off to best effect. Not typically having a model or photographic studio on hand we always end up making do, normally using each other and a random space.

This time Ed was the model. We have a fairly low success rate for the photos and all of them need touching up. So I spent the afternoon doing that.
I was amazed by how much like Ed the image of his face in blue lines looked, I knew he wouldn 't appreciate being identifiable so had fun totally erasing his face.

lost property


Probably not the most interesting of entries.....

A fellow stall holder at Upmarket off Bricklane in East London handed us this bag which had been accidentally left on his stall. It contained a small camera print vest and a mini travel card holder. There was one other item in the bag. In the unlikely chance the customer is reading our blog, please contact us and reclaim your posessions.
