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.

Mother Nature or The birth of a Universe

As i told before: Be creative, be inspired. It is a simple and easy process to think about a picture. You may use the classic painters as source for your own inspirations or your very personal phantasy, dreams or emotions for expressional work. This one here, derives from an idea i had in the evening, while watching TV :) What a lousy TV show it was. But that gave me room to develop this idea. Next morning i realized it. Do you like such ??

The Picture is done in the same simple way than ever: Olympus EM-1 + M.Zuiko 12-40, one spelling Metz 58 in M mode, cam in M mode as well.

Sad angel

Although fully equipped with everything she need for her job as an angel, she is indeed looking sad. Perhaps her emotions regarding her next job ?? What is the valid reason for her sadness ? What is her next job ? What to do releasing such emotions ? And, will she execute the job ??

And thats the point: A story in a picture. If something is happening in your head while looking at a picture, than the pictures works… Its is up to YOU producing speaking pictures. Those are the pictures which will be looked at all the time even years later.

Olympus EM-1 what else…

Dandelions flight

It is their time now. You can see them everywhere coming thru the grass. White globes sitting an long green shafts. And when it is time and a bit of helping wind is around you can see their seeds flying thru the air. That is a wonderful moment, enchanted. Watch them landing, see them them in the early morning covered and kissed by the morning dew.

Be bold, try it. Do not think and ask yourself what others may say when they view your pictures. They is NOT made for them, but it is an expression from you, out of you. A way you felt in that moment. Thats why i show this to you. So be bold and strong.

The magic look in a magic moment. Nothing more to say … enjoy

Olympus E-Cam

Sit around …

As i already said earlier, always watch your model, have her in focus whatever she is doing. Even a break should not break your photographic stream. In this example she sits around, arranging hair and i took the picture. She laughed, tried a new look but in the end it was a disaster. The hair looked as if created by electroshock but gave us a new inspiration to do that again in a different set. More on this later.

Lost to Darkness

Loosing friends is a hard task. It is a strike against your soul, tearing all memories in a second to your mind, exploding emotions. Try to catch it in a picture or try to catch your feeling just a minute after the explosion, while falling into the Darkness…

Olympus E-M1 + M.Zuiko 17…

Hidden agenda

kweide — Sat, 22 Mar 2014 06:15:55 +0000

An angel is a trusted being ? Are you sure ? Never heard about Luzifer ? Was an angel too but decided to have its own kingdom :) So look into the face of this angel. It has a hidden agenda and it has only two wings. It is said, that 2 winged angels are “fallen angels”, while only the good angels have indeed 6 wings…but that is just a rumor. Is it ?? Are you sure ?

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..
