Shoot 13 — Demon / Vampire Hunter & Urban Fantasy

For shoot 013, we decided to go for a tough ‘Van-Helsing’ style character, armed with all the tools of the Demon-Hunting trade; crossbow, vampire stakes, and even machetes / axes!!

For the second segment of the shoot, we went for a classic Urban Fantasy set with a ‘biker’ vibe, which resulted in some incredibly versatile shots. We’re carving out a bit of a niche now, as Urban Fantasy specialists 😮

Here’s a look at some of the teasers from both sets:

Shoot 8 — Tactical Assassin and Apocalypse Hero

Greetings Stock fans. For Shoot 008, we’ve mixed it up somewhat, with two high-octane concepts with our new model Regis!!

Our first concept is ‘Tactical Assassin’, a future-tech / borderline sci-fi military concept, that can be used for a variety of genres and stories. Our second concept is ‘Apocalypse Hero’, a more everyman look, depicting a blue-collar guy, facing impossible odds!!

Here’s a look at some of the images we captured…

Shoot 6 – Action Hero, Spy Thriller, and Apocalypse Hero

For this month’s shoot we focused on Action stock photography concepts, suitable for high-octane thrillers, spy sagas, and even horror too…

Shoot 004 — Classic Zombie & Killer Redneck

Shoot 004 was an exciting one for the team as this was our first ‘Makeup FX extravaganza’… a HORROR special that really showcases the cinematic-level of production value that we’re striving for.

The first segment of the shoot, was ‘Killer Redneck’ – a particularly nasty concept, where the props we had to hand were equally ugly!!

If you thought our redneck was intense… things got seriously schlocky for the ‘Classic Zombie’ segment of the shoot, where NeoStock makeup artist Dave Fox displayed his mastery of the craft:

For our next ‘Horror Shoot’, we’ll be working with a female model on ‘Classic Zombie’, and ‘Demonic Possession’ concepts – and I’m sure it will be a blast, just like this one. Seriously good fun!!

Shoot 003 – Urban Fantasy & Government Agent Stock Photography

The gears are really moving here at NeoStock… After many rounds of feedback in our Focus Group, we took onboard all the comments to make our next Urban Fantasy set even better than before.

The main requests were more ‘dynamic’ poses / facial expressions, inclusion of a bladed weapon, and a long trenchcoat. These suggestions definitely resulted in much more powerful shots, as you can see:

Jade IV Urban Fantasy Stock Photography

The second half of the shoot was focused on a more sedate ‘Government Agent’ concept — a series of stock photography images that would suit Espionage / Thriller concepts.

We’re working on improving the tactical poses / trigger discipline for these shots. Not totally perfect yet, but getting there!!

Shoot 002 – Assassin & Urban Fantasy Stock Photography

Shoot 002 was a great success, we managed to get a great selection of images – and ALSO, extremely helpful feedback from our Focus Group for future shoots.

Our two concepts were Urban Fantasy, and Tactical Assassin. For future Urban Fantasy concepts, we’ll definitely be incorporating bladed weapons, and more ‘dynamic’ / action oriented poses.
