one of my most recent shootings together with the model Nika and a new make-up artist in town, Hatoe. Hatoe stepped in on short notice and did a wonderful job. This time we got another wonderful model on set: The black and beautiful Ibanez SA guitar which was a burner.. together with Nika. The initial idea was to go for another monochrome line with smokey eyes, nude lips and light-edges…

We tried to produce more emotional images. The idea worked out well since Nika is such a cute person to work with. But see some of the results by clicking below:

Post production was experimental and completely done with Paintshop Pro X2, you will see some more detail of the postproduction in the upcoming tutorial on skin and beauty retouche with Paintshop Pro X2. See you soon!

Just a few more pictures from the series…

MetroBlinks präsentiert in einer Gruppenaustellung Architektur und Momentaufnahmen aus dem großstädtischen Alltag, die in den Metropolen der Welt eingefangen wurden. Metropolen wie New York, Seoul, Berlin und Barcelona liefern die Szenerie, in der sich Alltägliches und Typisches manifestiert.

Please join me an enjoy this very urban moment. Summertime in New York City. A calm slightly humid atmosphere sets the tone here. Take a walk, meet your very best friend at the Pastis, just let go.

Cheers!

After being here for a fist time, this place keeps my attention in a special way. Knowing the background of the Olympic Games 1936 in Germany and being amongst the ruins touching walls and broken glass is somehing different. It is more about the unusual and unknown visual  appearence of this place, where some special light helps to draw the mystic mood here. Especially with people and/or a model involved the tense of that place might come accross much better.

Another series will come up after our shooting with models on that location. Watch out for Elstal3 next time.

A day in an abandoned industrial area. Two girls taking care of the old metal construction, walking in and getting in touch with the rusty matter. There is much more to say about Ferropolis which was the location here. But this can be explored somewhere else.

many thanks to sin-sue and dajana_84
