Nicholas Strubbe

Just a really cool behind the scene shot.

Photographing Nicholas Strubbe once again

His name starts with N, like NutterButter or Nordstrom, not like the words of Circus, or purple.

His name is Nicholas and what a talent he is!

Here is once again acting for a comp image that im working on!

Concept of Creative Chaos

  Due to limitations that I place on myself,  I have not experimented with photoshop enough to grow creatively.  Don't get me wrong i know photoshop well, and have an arsenal of photoshop tricks but  personally I often feel bored in "creating the perfect composite"; the matching light directions, shadows and details.  At one point in my life I photographed with film, chrome, 4x5, medium format, photographing motion and still life! Again and again I  used techniques such as cross processing, double exposure, white on white zone 7-8, over agitation, polaroid transfers, and my favorite sabatier "pronounced saba- te-ay" all this to push creativity!

"One time I developed a slide film and painted bleach over it, and the concept was to make the images look like they were glowing!  They weren't perfect but now to think about it, who cares!" (thinking about is giving me the itch to purchase some slide film!

 Early experiments such as these gave me a reason to go further into photography, this also lead me in creating a term called creating creative chaos!  Creative Chaos can be defined as an abandonment of making things look perfect! 

I've been lacklustering on this idea and it's preventing me from growing creatively.  And it has to stop now!

This is image is one of the many experiments i will be doing, so with that said let the creativity begin!
