    Alateia,

    Nice image….well shot!!

    The styling make sit look original….well executed….it’s not a s easy as people think to make an image look authentic…

    Must say I had a chuckle about the fellow on the left :)

  • Alateia replied

    the styling I didnt take too seriously as it was all completely impromptue for the soldiers. (I missed my snood however) and a few finishing touches here and there but it is not shopped at all.
    I just loved the timing however, couldnt have been more perfect with that sly little ‘sneek-a-peek’ soldat on my right, lol.
    he just made it a classic i couldnt have directed that even if i had tried, lol
    :)

    je ne sais pas what to make of this…but what a lovely re enactment image from a period of great turmoil!! would love to see more from this shoot!!

  • Alateia replied


    bonjour peter,
    oui je comprend, c’est un melange des emotions
    the other photos are rathe eerie and haunting. the image I am replying with was taken in the Bunker, I have edited it to express the emotions that overwhelmed me while I was inside.
    Shortly after this, I had to be escorted out of the bunker as it was far too overwhelming for me in a most unpleasant way. I couldnt bare it but worse, I couldnt breathe.
    I found an empathy arose from the occassion I am glad for however.

  • Alateia replied

    oh I just realised, lol sorry, 3am here and i should be in the land of nod by now.
    It was not a shoot as such but rather I gate-crashed an exhibition with a photographer on hand, lol
    but yes, nice idea for a shoot, I may well follow that up -)

  • Roz McQuillan

    Roz McQuillan

  • Alateia replied

    mmuahahahaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa wozzy woz! lol not that I’m fishing for compliments or anything, lol

    Well this is one shot that’s straight to the poolroom, Alateia!!!!!
    Fantastic….
    Love the composition, the b/w treatment….
    esp the look on the faces 7 the “can’t believe my luck” look on your right hand man…
    extremely well done..
    Cheers Lee

  • Alateia replied

    ooo does that mean you bought it! and im now in your pool room???

  • Matt Bottos

    Matt Bottos

    hahaha Great shot… love the expression on the guy on the left! Lots of innuendo going on .. but then maybe its just me. The guy on the right looks much more content & at ease… maybe it because he is holding a bigger weapon?? ;)

  • Alateia replied

    ol! could be! then again the guy on my right could just be working out what caibre he’d need if he had a shot! ....heheheheeee
