Daidiri again

You know, i do have an outer space contact called “Daidiri! who is an Annunaki Princess and she is of a special kind. She suddenly appeared while our shooting with Sandra was ongoing and Daidiri was, hmmm let´s say, a bit angry. She wanted to be in the set as well, with the same costume. Well, Sandra and i looked at each other and we agreed. In a a second Daidiri was prepared. She is a wonder. Dressed up in a second.

And look how she did it. I printed the picture and she was again very happy and in a second she disappeared, leaving us and the costume behind her. Well, a satisfied princess may save lives .. one never knows. It is always good having friends.

Rework it…

Well, today she asked me to rework one of my pictures i took from her, the girl from Udaipur. She asked me to do it in B&W. She asked for the strong, crispy and powerful conversion. Okay, so i did it and here it is:

Hope you like it as well as she and i do !

Or is it the princess in her rooms ? Playing around with her veils ? DMoving, dancing, feeling happy and free ? I dont know but it was a great fun shooting such scenes. It is easy, as told in former threads. Giving her a playbook, a scene, a role or just an idea where she can perform, guess what, she will do, she will perform and interpret it her way. The only thing you have to do is motivating, comment, give small hints or advices. And let the scene flow. Be surprised and shoot like hell …

She does testing

It is not easy doing the impressive gestures indian dancer can do. It needs a lot of training and for european it is a challenging task to do like them. But she is a brave one and she is going to do it. Here i found her doing such facial test with a mirror.

OK, that is a way, esp. when clothed in original indian dance coustumes. She likes it much. And i have the chance to do some pictures :)

Test it

“I got to test”, thats what she said, while having a break. She looked some indian dancer pictures and films and saw their mostly static facial expression and their massive eye work, their support thru hands and gestures supported with arms and hands. She tried that a lot and had lots of fun doing so.

But a break is a break and while relaxing she is still thinking on what she had seen in the film, going thru the dancers positions, each by each, testing them in mind….

We are really interested in seeing her performing arts…

Ready for ….

Ready for the next step. It arrived. We are so happy to announce that our original indian dancer costume arrived. It is so beautiful in its colors: Orange, Green, Gold. Some jewelry is included. That gives us the chance to enter a complete new world: The world of indian dance, the world od Bharatanatyam, perhaps next Khatak and Odissi. Depends on the arrival of further costumes. The sizes are about european size 38 which should be M or L. We have to try out … Do you like it ?

Passion

This one at last. It shows how intense the fight was. How much passion and power both fighters brought to the ground. Crossing blades, sparkles around them. But only one can be the winner. You already know the outcome. Enjoy
