Encounters in the dark forest

… or better: When an angel arrived… guided by the warm golden Light of heaven, touching the ground, spreading the wings. Preporing her clothes for the upcoming tasks. Whatever that will be. Even the wild wolf is standing still, looking, Will the wolf be the new companion of the angel ?? Who knows …

Again E-M1

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 …

Just testing new equipment, a new parabola softbox, a new and fas lens. So i put two scarf together into the scene wrapped her in a quick and dirty way and took some snaps, varying the angel of shooting and the flash paramters to get an impression of the ligth rendering the new softbox will do.

And YES i am really satisfied with the results. Lens and softbox did a stunning job. Oh, yes, sorry, she did it it also …

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.

Dance the night away

A stunning dance performance in the deep night, performed while a local party in the small village of Palma, Sicily. It was bad light, high speed dance movements but E-M1 caught the moments.

So trust your cam and try it yourself. You will be surprised of the result

Result

As a result she finally got her dress in a, lets say, sorted style. But it is still a very light costume and she is asking herself whether he will like ist ?? I believe, there is no man outside who does not. What di you think ?

Concrete girl

No, it is not Batgirl or Supergirl it is Concrete Girl :) Hey, it is just a snap i took in the dark while she was doing some experiments with ribbons. It is so to say: Between the scenes…Enjoy

Added a bit contrast and a concrete structure. Pure fun :)

… no game …

No, its no game. I asked her to be dangerous looking, aggressiveness in her face, a bit surreal and spooky as well. Okay, so she painted a black ribbon over her eyes with some black color from her make up box. Wild and a bit uncontrolled, like a warrior. Her smiling face turned into “aggressive” mode while her body followed with a strong tension. That was exactly what i wanted to see. So i took my picture. In post processing it was easy to intensive the look a bit. Levels und curves and an overlay texture was all i needed. So enjoy
