Big girl still rocks

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

… Lazy Sunday …

Oh, what a lazy sunday it is. So we all enjoy the silence and the chance to relax. Just enjoy, do nothing. Except one of us: This is you: Your task is to archive this moment thru your camera.

This time no Oly cam, Fujifilm X-E2 + 34 mm f1.4

Offering a sofa, some veils and pillows and let the scene go, let it flow to what it wants to flow. Just watch and take your pictures. You can see when your subject feels comfortable with the scene. When she comes to express emotions your viewfinder will show it and you have the chance to catch this Boom Boom effect picture. Enjoy it and try it by your own. Setup is easy. A sofa, some pillows, a pink and large veil, one flash light, a camera and YOU and your ideas.

Look at me

Look at me, that is exactly what her pose and her expression tells us. Enjoy and take your picture. In this case we found it better to convert into b&w due to more powerfull expression overall.

A cat ..

.. 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.

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 ?

do not ask too much

Do not ask to much but take the chance to DO. If your model is going to arrange herself, taking a new pose, do not ask, to not say a word which can give negative response or simply make her insecure. ACT ! Do and show her what you have done afterwards.

This picture above is done while she was moving on her sofa, arranging. Instead of asking her what she is doing there i took pictures of just that moment :)
