I’ve spent the last three days working on Maxi’s album, each album is custom designed and takes a shedload of time. Images have to flow, tell a story and they still need to fit together on a page. Anyway, I don’t often get to play with textures, but this one image just cried out to get a painterly feel to it. I sometimes add a subtle texture to images when they are blown up big onto canvas. It just gives them more of an authentic feel, another dimension really. I’ve seen many pics where it has been overused, but I think it works on this one – imagine it as a 2meter by 1meter canvas print hanging above the couch.

In totally unrelated studio news, I’ll be in Cape Town between the 8th and the 14th of June, I have a couple of morning sessions still available.
