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.

Galactic hero: Sir Fur

kweide — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 13:24:54 +0000

Requested by the very young kids, animated by the fantastic stories of the “Galactic Heroes”, they wanted to see a proof, a proof of their real existence. Their arguments so clean and direct: “You can do photos, so give us a real photo of them” Well, i did it and presented the leader of the Galactic Heroes: Sir Fur. The fighter for justice and freedom , The real leader of an real team of “Galactic Heroes”. Boy i don’t want to think about the consequences in future when they discover my fake :)

Again done with the famous Olympus EM-1

KGB Officer on duty

Interrogation has started. She is a very good agent. No one ever resisted her technique. She started always sweet and nice changing her questioning quickly into a dangerous set. We see this here. In the shown picture we shot during her job execution she is in the dangerous mode. So look out.

Her prey, he had no real chance, was a young man trying to hide some secrets. But she got him and his secrets within some minutes without any problems. Poor boy. He was totally exhausted and powerless after the interviews with her.

KGB Officer

The session we had today was real a fun session. Giggling, laughter and joking around. We had some accessories at the start. A Batman mask, a wonderful cap of soft black fur and two other sweet hats. But it turned out that the fur cap was the real thing and she did quite well with that black thing on her head. I assume it was because the warming effect of fur :). Just sitting in the corner of the red sofa, with that cap on the head is not that tricky. Do you really think so ? Oh no. It is not as easy you might think.

Keep the head in the right position, don´t move the body too much or that cap will glide and fall down. Result: The scene is gone, the expression lost, the pose ruined. So it was indeed hard work even when it looks now different. Okay, it was fun too :) Als always. So is she a KGB Officer or is just because winter is coming ?? What do you think ?

Winter

Its going to get winter. I have the strong feeling that it is about time. Its getting colder and colder and suddenly the girls are wearing fur… That is a 100% proof for upcoming winter. But the fun goes on …

Inexpensive model

kweide — Sat, 26 May 2012 06:45:20 +0000

It is hard for you finding a model that fits ??? They want money ?? Too much money ?? You cant afford that ?? You don´t even want to pay an amateur ? Yes, your are OK ! I feel the same very often. But ever thought taking animals ?? Your pet, your cat, your dog, your rabbit, mouse, rat, what ever you own ?? They cost nothing, nada, niente and the will work as long as you want. Just follow some guidelines:

1. Honor their work with FOOD
2. Give them a fenced room to move
3. Do not flash into their eyes
4. Put a piece of their most beloved food on your head ! This will attract their view to you and your cam
5. switch to M and set the cam for higher shutterspeed. Ask you manual for that

Than go on an shooting , not only one picture but use your cam in the machine-gunning mode. Animals will move and due to the food on your head the want it, so they will come close to YOU. Be fast and your keeper ratio will be high.

Show me ..

Show me the power. This is again a special wish from her. And yes, it is a fun, it is a you to do so. It is only a few minutes of work to produce the visual effect but it lasts a lot more time to get the picture itself on the cf card !!

What helped here, was just the fact that she is already well trained in posing and knows herself what fits best. So she did it. Simple !

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 !

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 !
