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!
