Marilyn

Highly motivated, free, no stress, no fear, just playing around, bathing in emotion. Secure, yes, the emotional layer is working, while she moves around with her veils, playing Marilyn. The E-M1 caught the moments, fast, precisely like a swiss made clock. Thats the way we all like to work. Enjoy the output

On Vacation

Vacation is a wonderful time and time is now. So have a wonderful time. Enjoy the sun as we do !

Olympus cam….

Waiting for him

Waiting for him, standing behind the window, behind the curtain. Kissed by the warm and golden light of the sun. Every sense of her focused thru the window just awaiting him. Already prepare to embrace him with all her woman’s pride, willing to give him all her love.
That was the storyboard behind this scene and i think she did it well. How do you think about that ??

Olympus E Camers :) as always

Colors at play

This is not Hipsta nor Instagram or Polaroid effect. This is just the play of natural light coming thru the window passing the silky, shiny curtain. She, just in between. It gave a wonderful colorisation without any help of pp software. Give it a try

Olymps E- Camera

Kiss me …

Kiss me, you are the sun, your warm beam of light touches me gently, softly caressing my skin, my face. Heating me up. Your kiss is life, your kiss is power, your kiss is love.

Olympus E-camera, what else :) and a bit of individual curves and color fill layer.

Magic Mask or the venetian princess

In this example the former workflow for HIPSTA found its place but with a small but effective modification. I left out the blue layer. I found it produced too much darkness in this case so i threw it away after trying several ways to compensate the loss of brightness.

Oh yes, i put different things into the picture as well. I built a mask for her face, like a venetian princess ready for the ball, ready for a walk over the thousand bridges, searching for her lover, while her face is covered by sparkling stars to irritate the observers. A play she always likes….and we too.

Only Fill Layer

Playing around with curves is not so easy for everyone. That´s what some of you reported to me. OKAY, now take this two examples. They are done with mostly “Solid color layers” with different blendmodes and opacities. That is much easier to do. I hope so:

Above in Pola look

and this more pinkish. It just depends on the colors YOU select ! Have fun ! Do want to see how it is done ?? This is the way to produce pictures like the first one

Have fun.

Another Hipsta

Its fun… another Hipsta. This time i made the effect a bit stronger. It is all about how strong you bend the curves :)

Try it… it is fun.

Go for Hipsta

Brush up your pictures. It doe not matter if they are RAW or JPG format. But give them a completely new look. Hipstamatic is Hip, is in, is everyones friend. So why do you hesitate converting one or two of your already made pictures to the new style ? It is easy. Just a play with curves :) The Gimp will do the job as well as Photoshop Express, Lightroom. All software which can do curves adjustments can produce the look. So give it a try.

I did this as an example…
