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 ?

No Sir, it´s my veil …

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.

Blue thoughts

kweide — Sun, 11 Jan 2015 14:32:49 +0000

While shooting is running there are moments of silence. Moments were something is going on and you cannot name it for sure, but you can see it. Like in this picture

As if she is asking herself questions. Am i pretty ? Am i beautiful and attractive enough ? Does HE like it the way i move, the way i behave, the way i present me as a person ? Those are unspoken questions which cannot be answered by words. Only your behavior as photographer can do that. When you stop working, you answer “NO!” to all her question but doing even more pictures, addressing thru your mimic that she is fantastic, this way you will earn even more such blue thought moments.

Just like this above is a result of a positive photographers reaction. And she asked: “Really ? ” I gave her a smile instead of words…. That the way the emotional layer works.
All done again with Olympus E-M1 again

As i always say: GO closer to your subject. Let it fill your viewfinder and than, go a bit closer until you reach the minimum focal distance. Set the focus to the nearest eye, keep calm and take your pictures. Yes i know, you can smell her skin, that is ok, but you are a PRO. Ignore it and concentrate on your job. Take the shot. It is again a proof for a working emotional layer. If it is not set up, she will never let you come soooo close to her . So work on that.

Brush it up

What a little post processing can do. It is soooo easy to process a simple, boring picture into an emotional artwork. Try it yourself. Take one or two pictures from your archieve and start playing with your piece of software. You should develop some skills before you do a specific job !

Remember: It is your businesscard you will deliver with the final product ! She will like it and will be surprised and satisfied with your work. The emotional layer is back …

What a difference …

What a difference a jacket makes. A simple thing. Easy. Ask for her winterjacket, ask her to use it on her skin and ask for slightly opened zipper.

Such wonderful view, a modified boys view. Thats what the Boom Boom effect is about. Such pictures are only possible with established emotional layer, with trust ! To give a special touch, a special look i added some secret juice to it. Addition layer, converted to B&W, added grain to it and set the opacity to about 85%…. easy. You can do such as well with your GIMP or similar PP software. Try it !

Convert me

kweide — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:34:37 +0000

Convert me ! Do not not misunderstand ! Make your pictures looking old fashioned is already old fashioned. But convert them to b&w and simulate the old grainy analog filmtypes. It is fun.

In this case shown above i converted into b&w thru my usual PP and cropped it a bit to get it a bit more compressed and to get her body into the lovely diagonal line. Nothing special here, just another proof for a working relation between model and photographer…. you know, the emotional layer and trust.

Olympus E-P3, Summilux 25 mm, f1.4, 1/60 second, no flash used, ISO400

Watch .. what … ?

Watch her. Watch her all the time, watch her thru your viewfinder. Even when she is dressing, especially when she is dressing, try new clothes, veils etc. Such are wonderful moments for special candids. When you have an emotional layer full of trust otherwise she will give you some nice 5 fingers into your face :)

You have to do nothing. Just watch, Dressing, wrapping in veils, using jewelries are somehow natural given things for a woman, genetic programmed. Use this fact for your pictures. Just watch, no further addressing or guidance for her necessary…

To crawl …

kweide — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:14:27 +0000

or not crawl. We decided it would be better. So crawl, you sweet woman and what i can do will be done. Choose the right angle, make it a bit warmer regarding colors and hold your breath, do not shake the camera even when her view is soooooo hot and asking.

And ready is the picture which is interesting ! Details?

Olympus E-5, ISO100, Sigma 50 mm, f2.5, 1/250 second and one single hotshoe flash as always bounced into a white reflector disc.
