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 …

This was just a fun idea but we realized. Yes it is strong colors, massiv contrasts as well but fun, fun, fun. Enjoy it with us. It is an example of what you can do with a simple portrait of your subject and by adding some details to achieve a total different look and to create a story…

The modern Bedouin girl

Just testing new equipment, a new parabola softbox, a new and fas lens. So i put two scarf together into the scene wrapped her in a quick and dirty way and took some snaps, varying the angel of shooting and the flash paramters to get an impression of the ligth rendering the new softbox will do.

And YES i am really satisfied with the results. Lens and softbox did a stunning job. Oh, yes, sorry, she did it it also …

A cup of Tea in the morning

A cup of tea in the morning for her and a little time for me to play with my new toy made of finest glass and metal. Its fun and fast and sharp and has a wonderful fine, creamy Bokeh. Guess the brand and type…

Olympus E-M1 + ????

Scarlett ?

Ups, i was asked how i managed it to get Scarlett Johansson in front of my cam. Well, i laughed out loud but Yes, there is a similar look. And Yes Sandra is a beautiful and stunning looking girl. But she is not Scarlett… she is Sandra, a woman with a colorful personality and a creative spirit.

Flower Power

While testing an older type lens on Bokeh i asked her to wear those “flower-crown” as well. Just to spice it up a bit. Look what she did. And i had the idea to produce some really flower powered new pictures derived from Mother Nature idea. Easy to produce and colorful

The Amazone

kweide — Sat, 17 Jan 2015 09:36:58 +0000

Ever had the situation that after inspecting your photos from the last session over and over again and suddenly you discover one picture which was always overseen ?? That´s what happened here. Always thought, nag, she is too tall, way to imposant, way too blond, way too sexy, way too… what so ever.

But with a bit of curves and a bit of tweaking, here is the result of a blond amazon. Enjoy

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
