Be scared to create

Anyone who has read my posts (silence) haha, will know that I am a fan of planning and preparation. I have task sheets, folders, mood boards, sketches, and the list goes on. I always try to make sure that anything that needs planning is set in stone. Although this is usually the best way to work, especially for me, it can be good to go against the norm, and do the opposite.

A weekend or so ago I flew to the Netherlands to host a photography and photoshop workshop with my good friend Dracorubio. The premise of this workshop was horror photography, at a location in the beautiful city of Amersfoort. The location of the workshop, built in the eighties, was a jagged building of angles and nostalgia. The plan was to freestyle using the location to create some images whilst the workshop attendees watched on. Now as you can guess for a planner like me, this was pretty goddam worrying. But not one to turn down a challenge it was game on!

We all love the dark demon eyes looking back at us from a picture or movie. It just tells you that that model you’re looking at will devour your soul, damning it to hell for all eternity.

And here’s how you can turn your models into soul-hunting demons and have them look cool at the same time. It’s a subtle trick but it will give great impact to your image.

If you are lucky to have a good concept you’ll probably make sure you have some black sclera lenses for your model to put in. But if you don’t have them there’s an easy way to get the effect in photoshop as well.

In the video below I’ll walk you through the steps to create such dark eyes.
