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…

OMD E-M1 again …

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…

The Tourist

Angels are Tourists as well. They do not only execute the will of their Boss. Oh no. They travel as well and do a lot of fun things. Here you can see on of the angels ready for another sightseeing :) And Always keep in mind: They are in direct connection with their Headquarter and ready to act within a second. Always prepared to act..

Olympus E-Cam, what else ?

Galactic heroes

What a boring lazy day it was. No tasks at all. Cleaning up the hard drives, clean the Mac. Archive some data, do paperworks, when i found the little bear, those fingers and feathers from older times. Done while collecting details for composings. Opening Photoshop, playing around with the parts, arranging them, let the fingers do what they want and suddenly: Galactic heroes was done. Surprised by the result with a smile on the face.

She said: they look soooo sweet. V = Victory

A cat ..

.. yes, a cat, that is what she is. A cat. Look how she placed herself on the sofa, slightly wrapped into the veil. And look her face. I think she enjoys the situation and a touch of sensual female expression jumping over her face. Keep in mind, she is a 100% amateur with no posing skills at all.

And she did very well.

And she said: “Now to the fun stuff..!” You read it already in the last post. And she had really fun. Off with the clothes ( thats fun for us man :) ) and on with the new fun veils. My only job was to follow her with the cam, when she suddenly sat down, put a veil over her head and put this sentimental look on and said: “Homesick”. No question, i took it as all the other situations on this last session. It was fun, indeed. I added as she wished so, a bit fairy dust and this and that. Result: She likes it !

Everything works fine. The location is well prepared, you model as well. Make up done, the story in place. Everyone on stage knows what to do. The light ist 100%, all batteries at 100%, camera and lenses fine. The first shots shows, you are in line, on track, all systems are go

A quick view on the back LCD confirms your feeling. Wunderbar… it is flowing. That is what you want. So you go on. But suddenly it happens. You do not know when or why, you do not have even an idea what the initial thing was but the complete situation turns in a second into complete laughter and your model is doing funny things …

You can be angry now, go for a break or just accept what you get and shoot on, laughing too without knowing why. I prefer the last ! Because the job is fun !

It is fun !

Do not forget: it is fun ! Yes, it is a hard job working with models, creating scenes, stories and pictures but beside that it is still a joy and full of fun. So show it and document it.

Normally such pictures are not shown but why not ?? It is fun, so do it ! And show how much fun your work is combined with. That is YOUR business card !

Life and work is hard enough. From sides you get some urgent input to this or that and on nearly all demands are some deadlines connected. In the end you are jumping from one deadline to another always trying your very best to fulfill commitments or demands. And what is about you and your demands ? What is about fun and joy of work ?? Left behind you ! Don´t move back, it is not possible yet. But stop running and start thinking about what you are doing and WHY ?? Is it for you and your model ?? Is it good for you, good for your needs ? Does it help you to develop your skills ? NO ?? So, why do you do it then ? Take a breath, think. Back to fun ! Back to emotions, enchant your direkt contacts with surprising things they never thought about. Make them smile ! But first YOU are the one to smile and the world will smile back. Try it and you can feel fun, light and joy will come back as one giant inspiration to you. Make your model the cover page of a fictive newspaper, send it, print it.

The above cover was 5 minutes work. But the smile and positive response was worth it 1000 x . Sit back and think. What is your message to make YOU happy. Keep in mind: You are happy and your model your contacts will be happy too and feel very comfortable working together with you ! That is again the emotional layer.

What tourists do …

Running around, looking here and there, sneaking thru open doors, trying to find something of interest. They are always on the search for the special photo and they forget that they are a wonderful subject themselves. A great theme for the Anti-Tourist, watching other tourists and catching the decisive moments, getting a speaking picture full of emotions, with a story, speaking to the observer. Hope you like this two examples.

And now you should go for it !
