The storyboard was given, the light set, makeup done and some accessories as well placed. Now let it go. Let her go, let her do what she likes to do. Watch her performance thru the camera and take what you like. Do you know who Parvati is ??

Fur

It is said that diamonds are a girls best friend. And yes, that might be true. But is it affordable for us ?? For a shooting ?? Don´t think so. But as far as i know girls like FUR as well and here we have enough material to work with. No, not the neighbors cat around the neck… way too risky. She could kill the cat while bending it around the tack :) Well a simple fur of a winter jacket will do the job very well.

I gave one of this jackets to her and you can see what she had done with it. She created an instant storyboard and executed the selfmade hide away story. I like that much and did the shoots without any instructions.

To give structure to the fur keep the light coming from the side and above. It adds great structures to her face too. Keep the focus to her nearest eye !!!

All shots done with Olympus E-5, Zuiko 12-60 SWD, 1/60 second, f3.2 and one single flash bounced to my left and over my shoulder into a white reflector…

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.

Playmate

Yes baby, you are a playmate. How you move, how you sit, how you look and how you present yourself. You are a playmate, you are my playmate.

Treat everyone like a VIP. She wants to be the Playmate. Sure she is. And again we have a special picture with a Boom Boom Boom effect. I know, you can not show such pictures to all your family. But this is not intended. It is not even your wife giving the playmate role to you. It is your preferred model !. That is an important difference. So take the playmate shots and be proud on that. Keep in mind: You need a storyboard…. giving her a guideline how and where to move.

She knows

She reads the cards and she reads your mind. You can not hide a thing, not a thought, not an idea. She knows it in the moment you think it.

You have to learn to deal with that, to use it. Without fear. No prejudices please. Be part of the future and see what will happen. She thinks on your future she already had seen, whether it is good for you to know or not.

She is used to keep secrets as well. It is part of her special capabillity. And she hides and protect herself , her own clean aura.

And from time to time she even gives you YOUR scorecard of life directly into your hands. Without hesitation but with a sweet smile and she knows you can not live with that but you have to accept and she will be with you from now on.

So what did i try to tell YOU ?? To book a Tarot card reader ?? Why not, do so and make a special experience. Think in series. Do not make only one picture of a scene but try to show a complete scene in a serie. That means you have to keep an eye on your post processing. All pictures should have a similar appearance. And yes, you need a story. But you know this already from earlier post. Your storyboard can be made visible. Do so.

Again easy setup. Olympus E-5, Zuiko 12-60SWD, ISO640, f3.2, 1/125 second and one single hot shoe flash bounced left behind me into the white wall. Easy as i said.
