Transformation

kweide — Sat, 14 Feb 2015 09:46:49 +0000

It is easy to take a picture with a camera and it is easy to take own photo from a beautiful girl even when she is braely clothed and posing for you. Okay, you have to set some little details correctly, the light etc. You may guide her with some helping advices for her pose as well but in the end, you just press the button and its done …
Thats what most peaole really believe. But it is indeed not this way. Beside the planning you did prior to the shooting, your active help while shooting, your complete setup work for light, dresses, colors, hair, make up, drinkes, meals, location etc. you now have the ultimate fun tp work on the picture. In case of JPG hmmm… dont do that …better you stay with RAW. And the complete process is restating again. You rethink the situation, your and her emotions, your intentions and the result. And now you can visualize your final ideas which could not be done in the setup.

The kind of colorization, the type of blending the bloom with her body are such things which are hard to realize for an amateur but can easily be done in post processing. Go, leave your house for a while and shoot flowers, plants, the grass, trees, landscapes even insects or animals. I do so, even night scenes with blurred lights. Just to have material for further use in pictures i have no idea of until now. One never knows. Its better to be prepared :)

So, have fun …

Another one with the exciting Sandra, the Curve of Germany :) One addition from the workbench. Enjoy it. No more words, let the picture speak…

Olympus E-M1, any doubts ?

Big girl still rocks

Do you really think only the young and only the slimmest girls can do a beautiful and stunning job in front of your camera ? Ever thought it could be a mistake ? Ask a mature Lady and you will be surprised. They can do that job and they will do it for sure. My expereinece is that the more skilled and more experienced Ladies are so wonderful in front of the cam. They do not produce any trouble, the do not hesitate in posing, they just know how they have impact to the scene. Yes, they need guidance for sure and yes they may have let me say more curvy bodies. But that produces a different kind of tension. A different kind of emotions, sensuality and erotic touch. It is way more realistic

And yes, they have imperfections. That is your task to minimize such. Set the light accordingly, minimize and even their natural skin imperfections, their little wrinkles. Even in pos production you have the chance to give back some years, to repaint her with a touch of new reached youth. Try it. She will like it and you as well. For sure. BTW: its easier to get them acting in front of your cam simply because of her life experience.

OMD did the job

No Sir, it´s my veil …

kweide — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 07:00:08 +0000

And i never asked her to lift the veil. Did you ever recognized that a woman only hardly covered with fabrics looks even more sexy than a complete nude one ? Do not forget the hair make up, her pose, her hands and her lovely smile. It is because your own imagination, your own phantasy. The pictures established an emotional layer with YOU and it works …

So enjoy this wonderful picture of Sandra, the lovely girl, playing with the veil…

Olympus E-M1 did the job again.

Give me a smile

kweide — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:43:27 +0000

Thats what i asked for and now see what she gave me back. That is a soft smile. You can see in her eyes that something is going on in her mind. Her smile is intensive and soft and she knows how to play with her smile, her lips, her hair. Enjoy

Olympus E-M1, what else

Second Of Five

kweide — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 12:42:04 +0000

Did you ever watch Star Trek Voyager ?? Remember the stunning Seven of Nine ?? The Borg drone rescued and again mad “human” with a rest of Borg technology still implanted ?
Well here is my interpretation. I call it “Second Of Five”. Sounds ok, Have fun with the new movie poster.

Oh, again the Olympus E-M1 did that job together with the miraculous Metz speed lights …

Be creative, get closer, have the emotional layer established. Do you remember ?? Everything is true in this picture. Without emotional layer there would have been no trust at all and the picture would have never been taken. And i could get closer to her, very close. So close i could smell her skin, smell the odor of her fantastic blond hair and we got creative with a scarf. Wrapping her blond hair in that way costs a lot of time and my fingers are still working :). The rest was easy. A bit of light, a camera and a lens. You know, i like the simple approach to get the results i have in my head.

Olympus EM-1, single speed light thru Firefly softbox

Angel on Fire

kweide — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 15:36:58 +0000

Isn´t always the job of an angel ?? The work with Fire ? Fire as a symbol of destroy and rebirth as well. Thats what an angel stand for. This one shown here is no exception. So enjoy.

Again my EM-1 and a single speed light

Marilyn, she is alive !

Here ist the proof. And i have to say it was such a pleasure and great fun to shoot with this extraordinary and beautiful woman. Thanks Sandra. And for all followers: It is not that difficult to get pictures like that. This was a simple one light shoot. The little Octa-Firefly right above her an me balancing on the edge of the bed. Josh, thats dangerous, really dangerous. Look her facial expression, her pose, how she attracts and seduce. The rest is simply done by a bit of post processing. Nothing special

EM-1, one Metz Flash above her set to M, 1/32 power, Camera set to 1/160, f4, ISO 100, M.Zuiko 12-40 at 24 mm

… Lazy Sunday …

kweide — Sun, 28 Sep 2014 15:23:38 +0000

Oh, what a lazy sunday it is. So we all enjoy the silence and the chance to relax. Just enjoy, do nothing. Except one of us: This is you: Your task is to archive this moment thru your camera.

This time no Oly cam, Fujifilm X-E2 + 34 mm f1.4
