This one from Melanie was shot at the beginning of 2016. Harsh spotlight, high viewpoint. I particularly like the strong expression in her face.

This one is from Melanie, using a harsh spotlight. It reminds of the old movie shots from yesteryear’s blockbusters a bit. 🙂 I added a bit of scratching with Nik FX (which is free these days).

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

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.

This image is from February 2015, but I revisited it since I’ll be photographing this lady pretty soon again. It’s funny to come back after months and then like different images at that point. The original is relatively soft, lots of white, but I added a lot of contrast and some Clarify to make it more raw, while still sensual at the same time.

This one is from March this year, so already some time ago, but it still caught my eye.

This is Melanie again, staring melancholically into a beauty dish. Love the expression on her face.

Another one from my shoot a few days ago with Melanie. This shot actually included the striplight on camera right, which I took out in Photoshop. I love the fine line of light in the face, and the look of Melanie.
