Sandra ascending

This was just a fun idea but we realized. Yes it is strong colors, massiv contrasts as well but fun, fun, fun. Enjoy it with us. It is an example of what you can do with a simple portrait of your subject and by adding some details to achieve a total different look and to create a story…

OMD E-M1 again …

Scarlett ?

Ups, i was asked how i managed it to get Scarlett Johansson in front of my cam. Well, i laughed out loud but Yes, there is a similar look. And Yes Sandra is a beautiful and stunning looking girl. But she is not Scarlett… she is Sandra, a woman with a colorful personality and a creative spirit.

Flower Power

While testing an older type lens on Bokeh i asked her to wear those “flower-crown” as well. Just to spice it up a bit. Look what she did. And i had the idea to produce some really flower powered new pictures derived from Mother Nature idea. Easy to produce and colorful

Perhaps you like this one a bit more ?? I don’t know. Enjoy it

The Amazone

kweide — Sat, 17 Jan 2015 09:36:58 +0000

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 …

kweide — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 07:00:08 +0000

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.

Give me a smile

kweide — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:43:27 +0000

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

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.

Daidiri again

kweide — Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:39:38 +0000

You know, i do have an outer space contact called “Daidiri! who is an Annunaki Princess and she is of a special kind. She suddenly appeared while our shooting with Sandra was ongoing and Daidiri was, hmmm let´s say, a bit angry. She wanted to be in the set as well, with the same costume. Well, Sandra and i looked at each other and we agreed. In a a second Daidiri was prepared. She is a wonder. Dressed up in a second.

And look how she did it. I printed the picture and she was again very happy and in a second she disappeared, leaving us and the costume behind her. Well, a satisfied princess may save lives .. one never knows. It is always good having friends.

Beauty

I think this picture needs no further comment. Just look and enjoy. Yes, she is a gem… and a stunning beauty

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.
