bokeh, chanelle, color grading

I shot this image about 3 weeks ago, right before a holiday, so there was no time left to select a few best ones. And it’s hard with this shoot, there are so many beautiful images of Chanelle. Here is a first one.

Just about all shots I did in this shoot was on a silky Sigma 85mm f/1.4 lens on a Canon EOS 6D, mostly with a diaphragm of around f/1.8-f/2.0. I just bought a new light-gray background and used a single large round softbox here.

I often use Canon’s 24-70 f/2.8 L lens for studio work, but I had enough working space to use the slightly longer lens, which is a little more flattering perspective-wise, and the bokeh is softer.

color grading, renilde

This one with shot with Renilde sitting on a perhaps quite familiar looking piece of furniture; most households in the Netherlands have one. 😉

But that’s not the object of the photo of course; it’s Renilde, sitting gracefully with beautiful muscle toning.

Very much unlike the Twin Peaks counterpart, this is Belinda resting on a log. 😉

annemiek, color grading, dusk

Here is a photograph I took last April, in a nature reserve near Rhenen. The sun was setting but the sky still bright. A 1200Ws flash firing at the back of Annemiek, a 600Ws in front, giving a nice balance between ambient & artificial light.

belinda, color grading, outdoor, tree

This is from a shoot in a small piece of forest a week ago with Belinda.

Actually she is sitting quite high up from the ground, and it took some balancing to avoid falling out of the tree.

color grading, edgy, lucy

Here’s one from Lucy the other day which took a little more work. My attic is not small, but not that big. 😉 I like the edgy look though, beauty and danger.

This one from Renilde was made will dangling above her, with 2 striplights on either side. I’m still not sure whether this picture works better when shown in landscape, but at least this way you first notice her eyes. 😉
