<div id="attachment_454" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 58px"><a href="http://vida.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/chrisdevida.jpg" rel="lightbox[450]"><img class="size-full wp-image-454" title="chrisdevida" src="http://vida.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/chrisdevida.jpg" alt="" width="48" height="48" /></a></dt>

<p>As a fine art photographer by myself  <strong>I&#8217;m specializing in sensual photography and intimate photography, offering location photography, portrait and boudoir photography.</strong><br />
Mostly, I shoot natural, portrait and fine art nudes. I also shoot nature without people or nudes. My work is sometimes <strong>conceptual and symbolic, sometimes humorous, sometimes dark, and sometimes it is simply a capture of Earthly beauty</strong>.</p>
<p><em>While travelling through my portfolio you may encounter language that is rather frank or explicit. Also, you may come across the random nude from time to time. If the thought of either makes you uncomfortable then I politely suggest not going further.</em></p>
<p>I hope you enjoy my work.</p>
<p>If you like my work and want to hire me or work with me on some of my own projects, <strong>feel free to contact me through this feedback form:</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>how to create a diva?</h1>
<p>Its the continued series of sensual studio shots. It worked out very well with Katya from Model Mayhem. The basic idea was to build a diva-like portrait. However, the lighting was overdone in a way, but high contrast was not as bad in the end. While playing around with a monochrome filter and a heavy dark treatment a more graphic appearence developed over time. It&#8217;s in the direction of  wood carving now. How do you feel about that?</p>
<p>The colored pictures show the beautiful eyes and lips as well as the sensual mimics and a wonderful smile.</p>
<p>enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>monochrome vs. color</h1>
<p>one of my most recent shootings together with the model <strong>Nika </strong>and a new  make-up artist in town, <strong><a href="http://www.hair-make-up-artist.de/" target="_blank">Hatoe</a></strong>. Hatoe stepped in on short notice and did a wonderful  job. This time we got another wonderful model on set: The black and beautiful<strong> Ibanez SA</strong> 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…</p>
<p>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:</p>
<p>{ gallery [Nika3-Jan2010] }</p>
<p>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!</p>
