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 …

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 ?

Give me a smile

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

From the land of fairies, elves and other mythical creatures …

Enjoy them, enjoy what you can do with a portrait. Starting point is always a classic portrait with all the stuff you already know. The make up, the tricky hairdressing, the wardrobe, the pose, the facial expression and all this little things need to compose an attractive portrait. Do not forget earrings, necklaces and such stuff girls always love.

After this is all done you can start the second part of the job. Cut her free from the background, layer it, compose the mood you have in mind. Add some other things to the layers for adjusting. This is something which need some experience. You should already know what a layer is and how a mask is working. Otherwise you will fail. But here, it was fun, fun and again fun.

Spielerei

And it is time to play a bit. Play a bit with already processed, published and printed material. Well, this is done simply by changing the parameters of the used layer mask :)

A picture is never ready or done. Even older material can be interpreted in a new, brushed up way.

This is a game

kweide — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 12:24:55 +0000

This is a game only a woman can play and master. We as male creatures of nature have no chance to withstand. We are just prey. Its a given fact of nature. Learn to live with that. I asked her to perform a living temptation and she took off her short T-Shirt, played with the bra a bit, but just a bit and avoided eye contact. Her face turning away she gave that special mood to the picture

and in this picture, she altered the situation a bit, adding again a special mood of longing into the scene. I tried to support, enhance it by adding some layered textures into it. But believe me: a man has no chance either

Both picture taken under natural light conditions, only a white reflector used

Avoid contact…

kweide — Fri, 02 May 2014 16:11:59 +0000

No not really. Search for contact and search for intensive eye contact. That is the visible connection from the observer to the emotional layer hidden in the picture. So don’t be shy even if her look is really intensive. You have to stand this. This will build an intensive connection between observer and your work. Thats essential.

And enjoy it.
Olympus E-Cam, what else ?

Tiger

A Tiger, that´s what she is in this moment. Ready to jump, ready to catch whatever she wants. Well in this case i could prevent being prey, thanx to the emotional layer working between her and me.

But do you see her eyes ?? There is something strange happing. As if she would really ready to jump…That´s what a sensual, sexy, erotic picture is all about. Its just a vision, a story implemented into observers head. Great cinema. So look and enjoy.

The luster of pearls

kweide — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:39:09 +0000

Another example of how you can brush up a simple portrait picture. And again it is just a composing, made thru several layers bended together and adding a bit of glow. The purpose was get a specific glow effect on the image and on the face as well.

Water pearls, glowing, a luster effect. Okay so ? You like that ? Try it. It is not that difficult
