The Brand New of the Old Work



Last week I had a few days off from work and decided to explore my archive. Many many photoshoots  I have done this year that has yet to be fully inspected.
I was also going back as far a four years back to other shoots that have been overlooked and found some gems. I don't know but I tend to think that some images change in my minds eye over time or I approach images differently each time I view them and see new things, some I like some I don't and then some I like again.
Well such the case with this image of Amanda that I shot in 2007, After I finally pulled the raw file out I studied the possibilities and worked with it by recomposing, cropping, and perfecting the tones then wham, I had a "new" image.
It's a daunting thought that I may have images to last me years, untouched film frames, raw files that are potential works of art (pun intended) from dozens and dozens of shoots I have done in the last decade.
Maybe time to generate some payoff for all those bookings I saved for... can I say gallery shows and books may be in my future?!  ;)
