December 2011, Marleen
Somewhere in November I guess it was, I met Marleen at a meeting at the local photoclub. We talked for a while about photos and modeling and when I went home when the meeting was over I had the feeling that something would come from it. A little while later Marleen contacted me and, completely not according to protocol, an appointment was quickly made. At the day of the shoot I wanted to try out my new guitar and amp (the studio has no neighbors) so I dragged that along too besides all the photo gear I’m moving around for a shoot. Awesome noise by the way 
However, with Marleen came a very productive and most of all fun afternoon and I’m impressed by the results for an amateur photographer and model new to the business…I hope you enjoy watching these as much as I did making them.
July 2011, Kristina
In July I met Kristina for a shoot. Starting with my light setup about where I ended last time with Rianne I wanted to improve my skills. I found that I needed more control over where the light should go, so I brought a DIY snoot. It worked very well, with the most pleasing result the ‘guitar and two hands’ photo and the ‘tattoo on the back’ photo. But then the tape that held my snoot together started to melt from the heat of the modelling light and a slightly burned smell floated through the studio. That was kinda a show (snoot) stopper. Besides that small setback, we had a great afternoon, as you hopefully can tell from the pictures.
March 2011, Rianne
Last month I had another encounter with Rianne. To try something new, or at least something I haven’t used and tried much, I used a black background and a single lamp setup (300 Ws monoblock). Also I played a little with different types of postprocessing in Lightroom. Color to grayscale conversions and adjusting the color channels before gives sometimes very interesting results! I’m very pleased with the results, I hope you like them too, please, feel free to comment on them
