Sandstone Area Shooting

Had a great and very very taxing shooting with Jana on Friday.
we went to a sandstone area. Wonderful location.
Very difficult for Jana to get a fix stand because everytime she makes a pose the sand slipped away.
The day ended with more than a hand full of amazing images, a McDonals Milkshake to fight the enormous heat and our clothes fll of sand.
Here are two of the finished images

Quick update: May 2011

It's May!
Spring, Flowers,Sunshine, and green green green.
That means: Outdoorshootings for my portfolio.
After all the month of bad and cold weather I can't see my studio at the moment. I'm still shooting indoor but at the moment I prefere the natural light when I have the chance. Especially for my Portfolio.

This month the winner of the "Literaturland Hessen" Photography Competition will be choosen.
My work "Rumpelstilzchen" I shooted with Mara and her ferret for my fairytale project last year is in the competition.
You can see my entry here: here

Next week I'll have a meeting with a gallery owner.
Maybe another chance for an exhibition. I'm a bit nervous.
The style of the photographer and artist I saw on her flyer are the total opposite from my style.
I get her number from a friend of my Mum who know her and told her a bit of me
(Especially my Story of the stolen artworks at the Photokina last year).
The gallery owner was "very interested" and wanted that I call her asap and so we managed a date for a meeting.
But the fact is: I think she had never seen my work before and if my style didn't fit to her gallery or she didn't like it this could become a little disaster.

I even have a meeting with a Model from Berlin this month. She' ll visiting her family near my hometown and so she asked me, if I have time for coffee and maybe a shooting. Let's see!

Yesterday I meet Angelique, a Model and Photographer from my hometown.
We both where a bit astonished that we didn't meet before, even we have a few similarities.

We created this sensual image:

So let's see what the month and the year will bring.

New Muse

I found my new Muse.
The wonderful Model Elena Bauer.
I shooted her a month ago for the Cakes Project.
Yesterday she called me if I had time and would shoot with her again.
So we meet us a few ours later.
At first we took a few shoots in the studio with a baroque HairStyling, tulips and black pearls.
As we realized that we had a lot of time till her train back home goes, we decided to go outdoor and making a few photos with natural light.
I love natural light. I will always love it more than studio light, even the studio light is easier and more comfortable to handle than natural light.
After the outdoor shoot we went back to the studio and shoot a few photos there again.

And now: Retouching work!!!
IT#s a long time ago that I had so much fun retouching photos...
Simply amazing!!!
Take a look:

Shooting with Centrate

Back from the shooting with the local metal Band Centrate.
Very nice guys. Had a funny day.
Realized that the months of Studio shootings spoilt me a bit because of the unchanging lighting conditions.
But I'm still prefere the natural light look.

Here a preview of one image.





And now: of to a relaxing girls day at Maddys Home with "Lost in Austen" and other DVDs.

Cakes - Stracciatella Cherry Cake

Had my last planed shootings for the month yesterday.
The next days and weeks I'll spending with redecorating my flat, organizing new shootings and retouching older work.
A Bandshooting will come in the next weeks: First outdoor Shooting this year ( YES!!!!)

But back to yesterday:
Stracciatella Cherry Cake from the cakes Project.
This time with Dòri as Model and Ina as MUA and the first Commission Cake Shooting with Lena
Ina was the first MUA I worked with. It was the Sweet Lolita Shooting with Hoa in Bad Homburg in 2009

This was one of the finished photos:


And here are a few Behind the Scene images from yesterday:

Lena getting Hair&Make-up




Maddy wreaking a 80s Hair Style on herself (80s Party next saturday WHOOOO!!!)


We love to play with food:



In the upcoming weeks I started organizing a few new projects.
One of them will be a project I like to photograph since years.
Very Colorful, dark and sadly not very new.
A project nearly every Photographer made once a time....
And then will follow a few editorials. I'm hopefull that I can shoot all of them this year.
