Spotted! 3 of my images on Shock Mansion. No credits, but hey, it’s still nice to see my work get out there (even if it is to a demographic of horny young teens… I don’t mind whether people see my work as art, or tits and ass, really!).

35mm on the Sony A7s. As you can see, it’s a lot smaller than the 55mm and MUCH lighter but it feels cheaper and more ‘plasticy’ too.

The 35mm comes with a really strange little lens hood/dust protector.

55mm Zeiss.

35mm Zeiss shot from the same position. As you can see, the 35mm fits a lot more in!

I’ve heard rumours of a much faster Zeiss lens coming out this year but after wasting a bunch of shots from a previous shoot (where the room was just too tight and the model was just that little bit too tall and nothing fit nicely into frame) I had enough and pulled the trigger on the only native 35mm lens available for the Sony A7s.

I’m looking forward to using it. I doubt the depth of field I love so much will be there (will have to test and see), but shooting in tighter spaces is what this lens is reserved for.

First step of putting the camera in the water was perhaps the most nerve-wracking!

I got to put the underwater housing to the test yesterday with Sophie. Was SO much harder than I thought it would be! A few things:

1) The unit floats in the water, but even harder in a tiny plunge pool was staying down at the bottom to shoot looking up (I kept floating). I’m tempted to sink the camera to the bottom and just sit outside the pool and shoot remotely with my iPhone. Could work… maybe?!

2) I had the fountain on which in retrospect was a silly idea as it created a lot of bubbles in the water thus reducing image clarity.

3) Plunge pool is just too small, tight, not deep enough.

Will have to give it a better go next time!

I love his silver eyebrows!

Had a great shoot with Filipina graphic design student, promo model and pageant Carmen Baena yesterday, who had only done 3 shoots before, was a little nervous, but heaps of fun (she’s super photogenic I think!). As usual, my direction was a little lacking but I feel that great conversation always makes up for this, and I’m still finding myself taking snaps between poses in order to find the most natural shots.

All the shots up on my folio now: http://www.justinfoxphoto.com/#/carmen/
