Ground effect

kweide — Tue, 02 Dec 2014 16:49:41 +0000

… or better the mirror effect. Put her onto the ground and let her look into a beautiful mirror. Not a small one but a large old mirror and let her play facial expression. And ask her for eye contact via the mirror. That is your moment to take pictures. If you can, avoid flash light, try using a simple reflector and watch the reflections thru the mirror. Have fun with that play…

EM-1 what else ??

Galactic heroes

kweide — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 08:28:30 +0000

What a boring lazy day it was. No tasks at all. Cleaning up the hard drives, clean the Mac. Archive some data, do paperworks, when i found the little bear, those fingers and feathers from older times. Done while collecting details for composings. Opening Photoshop, playing around with the parts, arranging them, let the fingers do what they want and suddenly: Galactic heroes was done. Surprised by the result with a smile on the face.

She said: they look soooo sweet. V = Victory

Female trap

Diamonds, necklaces, jewelry in any size, shapes or value are things, women can´t resist. I call such a female trap. As if they have glue on it their fingers stick to them, nearly unable to let them free until your credit card screams loud. A large fabrics or veil is such a trap too. A girl, inspired by photography, inspired by a story, willing to play, will be caught by the veil as well. Wrap it around, use it as scarf, as cloth, as bridal suit or why so ever. Such is a female trap as well and so much cheaper :)

And when she is caught in that trap, she is a trap herself. Just playing a bit with her facial expression, her pose and her face. You made her a female trap. Thats the moment to stop work !
Again done with Olympus EM-1 and the M.Zuiko 17 mm f1.8

That´s my hat

“That´s my hat and NO NO NO, you can’t have it!” That was the story and she played it very well. From serious to humor, she played very different role. But in the end, she always had her hand on the hat and not on body parts to hide.

Typical girl: Would rather go naked than hatless… We respect that.
Olympus E-M1 as always

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

E-M1, Summilux 25 @f1.4

Venus in the Bath

kweide — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:02:52 +0000

What can be more exciting ? Sitting in the bath, near the tub, watching her moving gently, softly rubbing her body, enjoying the warm water, playing with the bubbles, smiling. You can hear the water making noises and your only job is to watch her, to take close up pictures. This is the funpart of our job. And she loves to play the role of Venus in the Bath… and to give it a more sensational look i converted it into somehow Polaroid look. Hope you enjoy …

Olympus cam, what else

Colors at play

kweide — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:56:30 +0000

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

Femme fatale noir

kweide — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 18:54:26 +0000

What else can i say: It is as it is. Is it she, seen thru my eyes ? Is it how i see her ? Is it she how she is in reality ? One never knows. That is the game, that is the play of life. Enjoy

Olympus E-M5, M.Zuiko 45 @ f1.8, ISO200, 1/160 second and one single flash thru a snoot, some fairydust as always.

Stick me….

kweide — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 08:46:59 +0000

Yeah, stick me, don´t hurt me too much…. That is what you may get, when your subject is going to use the details you found. Encouraging her to play with this needle, gives interessting expressions and moods …. and YES i played a bit with the WB settings to achieve the slightly blue atmosphere

Olympus E-M5, Summilux 25, Iso250, f2, 1/160 second, one flash set to 1/32 power and bounced !!

Bubble universe

kweide — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 17:18:51 +0000

Inspired by a toy, children like to play with, the bubblesword. Hundreds of small, medium and large bubbles from soap water flooding your home. What a joy to watch them in so beautiful rainbow colors. But are we as adults living in such a world ? Made of bubbles ?? Arranging them, moving them gently from here to there and suddenly they BURST. Is that how dreams come true and ends ?? Often but not always.

That is the reason for this picture and again without emotional layer it would be only plain colors.
