My wife's a newborn photographer

This photograph won gold at the 2017 photographer awards. It is an actual photograph, the twins were actually posed like this (not photoshopped), the flowers are real (from our local florist), and yes there is some Photoshop editing, but nothing major, just color correction etc.

Heaterville - Wavy (Instrumental)

This is one of my favorite beats. It’s one of those beats that don't necessarily need some lyrics or vocals. Real vibey and chill and wavy. I had used this vocal and kinda turned it into a lead. Then i did some effects to the on the synth chords i was playing to make them bouncy and rhythmic.

Wednesday

Heaterville - FDB (Instrumental) Beat Battle League | S2:R3

This is a beat i made with the Mopho Analog Synth by Dave Smith and TETR4. The Mopho is originally just a one-key analog board but when you combine it with the TETR4 then its 4 keys! 4 analog signals! @heaterville

How a joke transformed into a small photo series - Killerpix contest #22 Theme - VALENTINE'S DAY

When you are 1.90m tall (that's 6.2336 feet) and most of your models are 1.50 m (4.9feet) you start to joke around about stuff like "How's the weather up there?" so last year on valentines day one of those jokes transformed itself into a 15-minute photoshoot and this is the result. @vmoldo
