bokeh, color grading, eleonora, hair, wind

This shot of Eleonora was a little unconvential, since I took it from a lower angle, which often isn’t that flattering. But in this case it worked really well. The light was quite high up, and also since she’s looking down slightly, the highlights in Eleonora’s eyes were almost invisible, so I did add a soft highlight in both eyes to get back a bit of sparkle (sorry if that makes you think the image becomes less; I always do a blend of making interesting images and adhering to reality, but sometimes making the image nicer is higher on the list).

Here is one from Dané from last Tuesday. Hope you like it.

I used my Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens for a change again. Although I like the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 better, it’s difficult to get high enough to get enough angle to fit most of the body in the shot. 😉

bokeh, closeup, color grading, lisanne

Another one from Lisanne, with make-up (nude) and hair done by Ayten from La Rouge Visagie.

I tend to like taking out colors, keeping it basic, and the yellowish style of this photo made me like it better like this than in black & white.

Yesterday I had a visit from MUAH Ayten from La Rouge Visagie and model Lisanne Siersma. We shot in two different styles; nude make-up and another style which will be on display later.

Here is a first result…

bokeh, color grading, felicia

This one was shot recently with Felicia; an emotional shot was already posted last month. I like this shot because of the strength in her look.

bokeh, bw, natasha

I shot this one a long time ago, somewhere back in 2014, and I’m glad to post it now. It’s still one of my favorite sensual shots, I’m glad the model didn’t mind the uncomfortable position for a while, while I was looking for the right angle.

bokeh, bw, cathelijne, sharon

A duoshoot yesterday with two lovely girls, Cathelijne and Sharon. We didn’t have that much time but shot a couple of series. This one is a variation on Annemiek and Else from a few days ago. We actually shot this image in two forms, switching the girls. Perhaps to make it into a single photograph.

annemiek, bokeh, bw, else

This is a picture taken of Annemiek and Else, two sisters.

I used a Sigma 85mm f/1.4 lens for this on f/2.2, 1/2500s using Yongnuo YN-622C triggers (which deal with HSS or high-speed sync). A single large softbox lights the scene.

Another one from Chanelle. Only one light in front of a light gray background. It doesn’t need more than that really.
