Kendo
Nov0
Banzai!
Personal project is landing here. It was a shoot with Tarl, kenshi [swordsman] from Australia. He’s been practicing kendo for more than 15 years.
Personally, I love the outfit, sorry… armor. So full of details, awesome craftsmanship.
Fun shoot I have to say. Being skilled kenshi and Star Wars fan- Tarl was pulling some hilarious stuff. More shoots like this please!
Soon, Tarl’s portraits are coming.
Light: two bowens heads either side, some reflector fill. On B/W picture heads are really close, thus the contrast.
Valentina!

Valentina- half Peruvian, half Scottish. Future model- that’s for sure. Natural and happy.
Ligh- bowens on background and strobe in umbrela, no fill. No PS.

As promised- more of amaizing Comfort.
This was a Bling-bling session. We wanted to make it a little more glamorous than the last one. Comfort was doing million poses a minute and we had an amazing laugh. Working in environment like this is a pleasure. Thanks goes to Aga for help.
Light: background one bowens,and strip softboxes both sides. Some PS involved.
Dee nude
Jul0
Idea behind Dee’s shot was to show woman nudity in a simplest way possible. Simple and delicate, like nude skin itself.
Beautiful yet minimalistic form almost talk to us about it’s fragile nature.
Light couldn’t be more simple – all area covered in black. Camera left is a bare Bowens head behind two black panels with no more than 10cm distance between them- that gave only thin strip of light. No PS except dodge/burn.
Comfort A.

Portrait of Comfort A, lovely Nigerian girl. Pictures are strong, full of power, and that was her firs time on a photo shoot. More is coming.
Light: strip softboxes either side. No fill or backlight[maybe next time]. As I see now, maybe a little spotlight on a background would be nice.

College assignment: Lifestyle magazine cover shoot. I’ve tried to do Men’s Health.
They are doing mainly black and white covers. Quite sure they are using only one light on the subject with some reflection and pure white background.
Dennis was standing in front of black tunnel, and had one big beauty dish camera high right. Background was two bare bulbs 1.5 stop over him.
Blue cast to make it a little fashionable. Cast is cleared from the skin.
