I found this little guy lady in my office… perfect fodder for stock photography, right? :) How’d you like to meet her in a dark alley? Reminds me of SHELOB; oh the tangled webs she weaves. Click on the image to see the high-res version.

Found one of my images on a book cover.

When I created this, I thought… “Maybe someone will use this on an album cover or a horror novel cover.”

Someone used it on the cover of a horror novel. :)

New Lighting Set-Up

By Royce DeGrie | Published December 26, 2012

I’ve been testing some new lighting ideas and really like this particular style lighting. The white background is actually a translucent material with two strobes firing through it (backlit) and a 60″ octabox in front. This is a sample of one of the test shots for some upcoming images I hope to shoot in the next few days. Click on the image to see the high-resolution version.
