Unsure, asking view, a lot of questions in her eyes. YES, just walk behind the curtain. No, it is okay this time that the flash is behind you. Now, don´t ask, just mooooove. But stop, click, click, click. Wonderful expression, i have to take that and i did it. This picture was the start of a “curtain-Series”, new to her, awith complete new setup as well. She was unsure, knowing my shootingstyle and now this. Different. Her face was asking …

And i answered her with a smile and took the picture. That is what YOU should do as well. SMILE and give answers, instructions as well, clear directions. As i said: “Now move behind the curtain and touch it with both flat hands, pressing it gently away from you….. ” And so on. The flash was mounted on a stand behind her about 1.5 meters away and was driven remotly. Everything worked fine and she was very happy with the outcome. When she saw this picture, i had to print it for her wall of fame ….

At last, she did what an Angel of Revenge always does: Its bloody job…. But keep in mind: None was really hurt, just a bit of PP. Artificial blood !

Again Olympus E-M5, Summilux 25, f1.4, 1/100 second and ISO200

That´s what girls are. The complete storyboard can change within a second and it is your task to make the best out of it. To show her from her best side. Do not start discussing, you will loose … for sure. In consequence she will raise up, annoyed, leaving the scenery. So what ?? Just accept and do your job. And it is pure excitement being confronted with a new story at all. So be creative, be inspired … :) It is all about fun.

One example here: We planned to do some snaps with Taro cards, pink veils, red fabric on the wooden ground. Everything was fine, when she suddenly started a flirt with the cam !! Should i stop her ?? No…. never….give room for new ideas ! And i had a smile in my face. While acting, she always lost one of her long, metal needles, used to fix her wild hair into position. We took that and created another story around that needle….and while working on the needle theme the Angel of Revenge came to our minds…. Yes that was a successful shooting day.

Yes she knows how to play that roles …And again it was all done with: Olympus E-M5, Zuiko 45mm, f1.8, ISO200, 1/100 second and only one single flash set to 1/32 power…. and a little bit of post processing

Make it more bloody, more, dirty, more eso, more powerful, more contrasty with more pop colors…..here it is ! Is it overdone ?? What do you think ?

Olympus E-M5, Summilux 25, f2, ISO200, 1/100 second and only one flash against bounced thru the room…

Did it …

OMG, she did it …. and it hurts…and she smiled and had fun, fun, fun …. :) Look at the needle… see the blood… feel the pain. She is so cruel, indeed, a hellion !

Okay, it is all PP, no one was hurt. Its all OK :)
Olympus E-M5, Summilux 25, 1/60 second, f1.4, one flash set at 1/32 power and bounced ( it worked due to minimal distance )

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 !!

Her power…

kweide — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:50:38 +0000

Her power comes from above and from underneath.From the universe and from mother earth. That is the way of the galactic warrior ?? No, this should be very normal for everyone. But she realized that and focussed her life. She is the samurai´s wife. She walks the way of Bushido, it is her way.

Olympus E-P3, M.Zuiko 45, f1.8, ISO200, 1/80 second, no flash, just a white towel as reflector. Some blendings in PP, nothing else, no tricks

New day

After all, the new day arrived. Sitting on her bed, looking at him, full of love and aspiration the young morning sun came thruogh her windows. Gently touching her back, warm and intense, surrounding her with a golden touch. He looked into her eyes, blinded by her beauty, her golden glow. That was what he missed so long while out in the bloody fields of war.

Olympus E-P3, Summilux 25mm, ISO 200, f2, 1/80 second. Again no flash, just a white towel as reflector :
