Fashion meets fineart.
Last Tuesday I hooked up with models Georgia Atieno (@Atibelle on twitter), Michelle Ayuma (@ayumyum on twitter) and stylist Furaha M. (@kayndeto on twitter) at Kuona Trust Art Centre (www.kuonatrust.org) for a fashion/fine-art shoot.
The wardrobe was provided by Lalin Designers, Zumaridi Ornate and Ke.Ko (whose All items are up-cycled). Accompanying us was a photography group dubbed Onetouch with whom I am proud to be doing collaborative shoots with.
The entire shoot was done with vehicle headlights and a security flood light as the lighting set up we anticipated did not come though. I drifted off my usual post production process to try out something new as I seek to develop my style.

Hey. Good job. 4 and 10 are just awesome. 1,5,8 are a little too noisy. Is it coz of jpeg compression ama shooting at high ISO?

I just took care of it!. I don’t think they`re as noisy now. it was an ISO issue as the light wasn’t sufficient for the exposure I needed. Thanks for bringing that to my attention the noise wasn’t as pronounced on my CRT(which is what i use) as is on LED monitors.
