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 …

Do you really think only the young and only the slimmest girls can do a beautiful and stunning job in front of your camera ? Ever thought it could be a mistake ? Ask a mature Lady and you will be surprised. They can do that job and they will do it for sure. My expereinece is that the more skilled and more experienced Ladies are so wonderful in front of the cam. They do not produce any trouble, the do not hesitate in posing, they just know how they have impact to the scene. Yes, they need guidance for sure and yes they may have let me say more curvy bodies. But that produces a different kind of tension. A different kind of emotions, sensuality and erotic touch. It is way more realistic

And yes, they have imperfections. That is your task to minimize such. Set the light accordingly, minimize and even their natural skin imperfections, their little wrinkles. Even in pos production you have the chance to give back some years, to repaint her with a touch of new reached youth. Try it. She will like it and you as well. For sure. BTW: its easier to get them acting in front of your cam simply because of her life experience.

OMD did the job

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.

Here ist the proof. And i have to say it was such a pleasure and great fun to shoot with this extraordinary and beautiful woman. Thanks Sandra. And for all followers: It is not that difficult to get pictures like that. This was a simple one light shoot. The little Octa-Firefly right above her an me balancing on the edge of the bed. Josh, thats dangerous, really dangerous. Look her facial expression, her pose, how she attracts and seduce. The rest is simply done by a bit of post processing. Nothing special

Window play

A bright and large window is a fantastic light source to use. Even and soft light. A curtain can soften it even more adding a specific touch to your pictures. A touch, you can extend and intensify thru a bit of post processing. This example shows a creamy and soft touch, as we wanted ! Try it yourself. It is easy.

Which to take ?

It is always a question of taste. Is it better to do it in color or in b&W ?? What do you prefer ?
See an example in color and in b&W. Would like to hear from you which fits better.

A cat ..

kweide — Sun, 05 Jan 2014 08:09:16 +0000

.. yes, a cat, that is what she is. A cat. Look how she placed herself on the sofa, slightly wrapped into the veil. And look her face. I think she enjoys the situation and a touch of sensual female expression jumping over her face. Keep in mind, she is a 100% amateur with no posing skills at all.

And she did very well.

Surprise at the coffee table

This is where the surpass started. Threw in a fabrics, a large one and she started to play with it. What a fantastic large piece of veil, smooth, cool, flexible, soft and the color is a hit. She liked it and within a second she started to wrap herself into it. What else could i do to watch the scene and did my very best to document this surprising event, with a big smile in my face…

Olympus E-M1, what else ?
