Encounters in the dark forest

… or better: When an angel arrived… guided by the warm golden Light of heaven, touching the ground, spreading the wings. Preporing her clothes for the upcoming tasks. Whatever that will be. Even the wild wolf is standing still, looking, Will the wolf be the new companion of the angel ?? Who knows …

Again E-M1

Fiery Flower of the Orient

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 ?

The Amazone

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 …

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.

Blue thoughts

kweide — Sun, 11 Jan 2015 14:32:49 +0000

While shooting is running there are moments of silence. Moments were something is going on and you cannot name it for sure, but you can see it. Like in this picture

As if she is asking herself questions. Am i pretty ? Am i beautiful and attractive enough ? Does HE like it the way i move, the way i behave, the way i present me as a person ? Those are unspoken questions which cannot be answered by words. Only your behavior as photographer can do that. When you stop working, you answer “NO!” to all her question but doing even more pictures, addressing thru your mimic that she is fantastic, this way you will earn even more such blue thought moments.

Just like this above is a result of a positive photographers reaction. And she asked: “Really ? ” I gave her a smile instead of words…. That the way the emotional layer works.
All done again with Olympus E-M1 again

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

The classic way

kweide — Sun, 04 Jan 2015 18:01:02 +0000

Ever thought about the old classic painters ?? And ever tempted to use the “oil filter” in Photoshop ?? Do not do that. Use some layers instead and the make the Glow effect work for you. It is easier you may think. Give it a try and your normal pictures may get that “boom, boom” effect as well.

Olympus E-M1 again

Second Of Five

kweide — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 12:42:04 +0000

Did you ever watch Star Trek Voyager ?? Remember the stunning Seven of Nine ?? The Borg drone rescued and again mad “human” with a rest of Borg technology still implanted ?
Well here is my interpretation. I call it “Second Of Five”. Sounds ok, Have fun with the new movie poster.

Oh, again the Olympus E-M1 did that job together with the miraculous Metz speed lights …

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.
