Female trap

kweide — Fri, 03 Jan 2014 15:56:19 +0000

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 !

KGB Officer

The session we had today was real a fun session. Giggling, laughter and joking around. We had some accessories at the start. A Batman mask, a wonderful cap of soft black fur and two other sweet hats. But it turned out that the fur cap was the real thing and she did quite well with that black thing on her head. I assume it was because the warming effect of fur :). Just sitting in the corner of the red sofa, with that cap on the head is not that tricky. Do you really think so ? Oh no. It is not as easy you might think.

Keep the head in the right position, don´t move the body too much or that cap will glide and fall down. Result: The scene is gone, the expression lost, the pose ruined. So it was indeed hard work even when it looks now different. Okay, it was fun too :) Als always. So is she a KGB Officer or is just because winter is coming ?? What do you think ?

I am not ready

“Uhhh, i am not ready… please wait. I don’t wear any make-up, please wait. Look, my hair is not prepared and my clothes are still the wrong ones” Yes, i know, but this is the natural look. The look i wanted to have as well. Only minutes later, she will be dressed in so wonderful things, her make-up brilliant than ever, changing her face, her look to what she will want to look, her hair tight and fixed so it fits into the scene. Even her pose will be 100%… but artificial.
So i decided to grab a few natural “before” shoots. And now after the work-shooting, she likes them much …

She is back

Yesterday i asked myself what had happen to my greedy neighbor and his, hmm, irritating obsession…. Mrs. Robinson. I heard nothing from him or her for a long time. So i decided to call him, asking for any news and was fairly surprised. He told me, that really nothing happened in the last weeks. It was silent. He did not see her in the bus nor on the streets but she must be alive. He noticed from time to time little changes in her windows, flower arrangements and he saw that UPS never had problems delivering packages. I could hear him smile thru the phone when he said, he got the decision to proof her existence and would send me the proof via email and so he did.
He told me, that he did this snap two days ago, spying thru the little window her the roof of her house and he saw her gently moving her totally naked body only covered by some thin white border. He raised his cam and snap a picture and only one. This one:

He was so excited that he lost his stand and crashed down from his secure stand, down into the thorny bushes :) That was the real background info i missed ! Now i knew why his walking style the last days was so strange :)

Olymps E-M5, Summilux 25, one single flash bounced as always !

Planned surprise

Did i say it before ?? From time to time you need to have creative breaks. Name it as you like. Take the chance to sit and to talk a bit with your model or even send her into the bathtub. Hot water, bubbles, soap, heat. The is a wonderful opportinity to relax and…. yes you assumed right, to take some pictures.

But this time i did nothing. Surprise, surprise. The only thing i did was, sit there offering some drinks and a little meal. Champagne and strawberries :). No pictures ! Lost chance ??? No, i don´t think so. In the following she was unsure as well, still no picture ?? What is he after ??? She wrapped herself into a veil and made her comfortable on the couch. That was what i was after ! Klick, klick, klick. The view, a little surprise but lots of relaxed face ! I got what i wanted and she was happy as well. No stress, only fun. She did a self created storyboard, ultrashort to motivate ME. Her pose cried for SHOOT, asked for my reaction and i did it. Straight, direct, no questions, no words. That´s trust ! Klick !

Detail: Olympus E-5, ISO 200, Summilux 25mm, f1.4, 1/80 second. Yes, hotshoe strobe bounced over my shoulder into a white reflector in front of her but behind me, a little left from me about 1.5 Meter high on a stand. Again no tricks or hidden specialities. You can achieve the same at your home. Just do it.
