Flow states

I love photoshoots with water. Especially the flowing kind. It gives the images an inherent sense of dynamic and flow. That doesn’t mean you can be lazy and solely rely on it. Composition, light, and posing have to be as on point as always, if not more so.

But when you have a good model in front of you, with her own ideas and experience in posing, you can easily get into a flow state and the pictures just pour out of your camera like the water that flows down the river.

Luckily, Marina knew this very nice place and the light was just right to get these nice pictures you can see below. I had to get my feet wet as well, to get some of the shots, but it wasn’t too cold and in the end it was absolutely worth it.

Britta, Battle Angel

Britta is an incredibly creative person and I love shooting with her. She is the nicest person and so easy to work with, and in addition to that, she comes up with all those costume ideas and builds lots of her own accessories.

These are just a few of the results from our recent studio day.

In Bed

A few weeks ago, I was at one of those group shoots again. We had rented a small studio together with a group of photographers and models and had planned to shoot a bunch of fantastic fantasy outfits. The models had brought some fantastic dresses, headpieces and accessories which you will see in a later post. But then V., whom I already knew from a previous photoshoot, discovered the bed in the back room, the lingerie in the dress collection and some accessories in a box under the bed. We both instantly knew that we had to take the opportunity, so we went to work.

The space was quite narrow and the lighting was a bit tricky, but with the help of the curtains, moving some furniture, and disassembling half the bed, we made it work.

What do you think about our results?

Men

I know you’ve been wondering: “Can he do males as well?” You tell me!

Can fruit be sexy?

If you are into the history of photography, you might have heard about Edward Weston and his Pepper #30. Many have attributed a sensual quality to this image.

The pictures in this post are my take on the subject. Not as refined or involved as Weston’s approach, but maybe a little more adapted to modern viewing habits, and people who have seen the photos already have described them als “almost a little sexy.” What you you think?
