Wings

Although I did get some wings specifically for this image, they looked a bit too fake for my taste, so these were photoshopped in later on. The lighting is a bit off perhaps on the wings, but I like the mood that this image conveys.

Thanks to Deirdre for posing here.

bw, deirdre, spot

Here is one from a few days ago with Deirdre. Don’t be fooled by the title; it was taken in the studio with a spot. 🙂 The color version looks very warm though, hence the title. I like it in black & white a lot as well, so here is that version.

I’ve been away for a little while, skiing in the French Alps, but back now so here’s another picture of Kelly from a few weeks back.

color grading, indoor, kelly

A few images from a shoot from last Saturday with Kelly. Hard light, softer light, it was nice to experiment a bit. Actually used a second light again in some shots.

One more of Maaike, backlit by the same spotlight as the previous photo, only giving quite a different feel to it.

It’s been over a year since Maaike came by, much too long. Here is one of her in a spotlight.

An unusual angle, hard light, a bit different but I like it.

color grading, lowkey, raw, whisky

Something a little more raw than usual; I bought a bottle of Jack Daniels some time ago, purely as a prop really but it also makes for a nice Irish Coffee (I’m not that much into pure whisky).

Combined with a wooden floor and a beautiful girl it makes for a nice melancholic yet sexy scene.

Another one from Melanie, really from February but revisited. Lots of clarity and contrast added. I’m kind of beginning to like this style more and more.
