Photoshooting with Nadya

/0 Kommentare/in /von

Hi,

once again I had the posibility to make a photo shooting. This time with a friend of a friend. :) Nadya, which is originally from Russia, is in Cyprus for a while. She is actor and is used to be in front of a camera, which was very advantageous. She was posing by herself and I could fully concentrate on my part.

We were the whole day out for the shooting and changed several times the location. We went to the old factory, the salt lake (which is try now in the summer), then further to the ship wreck and last but not least the beach with the big white rocks.

I got some feedback to the pictures already. They are very divided. Some like the pictures and the model / posing. And some say that it looks to artificially. Personally I am happy with the pictures and the model liked them as well. I think all good.
But let me know your opinion.

And here are the pictures :)

Best regards
Gordon

Professional photo shooting with Océane and Pauline

/0 Kommentare/in /von

Hi together.

3 weeks ago we had a quite professional photo shooting with 2 models. My friend Océane was asking me if I am up for a photo shooting. She and a friend of her are leaving the island soon as well and they wanted to have some nice pictures together, before they leave.

Of course. No problem. I was quite sure that we can make some nice pictures of them. But then the circle became a bit bigger. Another friend of her is makeup artist and we invited our hairdresser Agnis as well.
Then it came out that Julien (the make up magician) from French Touch Make-Up knows also someone. The lady (Marie) have a fashion store in the old town of Limassol. And she would lent us some clothes for the shooting.
And then we had a quite professional shooting in front of us.

As date we were choosing the Saturday 3 weeks ago. The girls came on Friday already, as they come from the capital. So we could start on Saturday straight early in the morning. First of all we went to Julien, to make the makeup. Then we went to our first location, the Curium beach. The sun was burning a lot already (I got a good sunburn that day). Julien was also very useful as light designer. :)
After that location we changed to the beach with the old ship wreck. The beach is a stone beach, but therefore also not very busy. Just a fisherman was there as well that time.
Around noon we went back to Limassol. Visiting Marie in her Allstar clothes shop. Trying the clothes which Marie was choosing already for us. And of course more pictures in and around the shop. Now also Agnies joined us. The hairdresser, which comes also from Nicosia.
After we tried all clothes and everything was fitting well, we went back to Julien. Renewing the makeup and now also hair styling. Everybody was busy, so I could relax a bit :)
Around half past 4 we left to the second part of the shooting.

Our next location was an old abandoned factory building. Very nice, but also difficult through the bad light situation. Big barrels and dirty buildings. Very cool location :) Most of the pictures here I made in the HDR mode.
And the last location was Governors beach. A very special ‚beach‘ with huge white rocks. Always a favorite place for pictures :)

After we had all pictures done, we were really tired. It doesn’t sound so much… but it was just a shortcut of the whole day. It was hard work for everybody… and I think we all made a good job.

And here the pictures.

Best regards

1st photo shooting with Océane – On the roof top

/0 Kommentare/in /von

Hi.

I met Océane a few weeks ago during a Couchsurfing meeting. We made the meeting in the beautiful Karpaz area and of course I couldn’t go without my camera. She saw the camera with my big 300mm lens and she was asking me about this big baby. :)
We started a conversation and it came out that she wants to start photography and was asking if I can give her some basic tips.

We decided that it would be better if I come to her and we can talk in peace one weekend. That I can give her some tips from my small stock of knowledge and she also said that she have a friend who agreed to be our model. A German hip hop musician, who lives in Nicosia.

OcéaneSo, last weekend I went then to Nicosia. First we where talking about us, to get known a bit to each other and then I was showing her some basics with photographing with DSLR cameras. Shutter speed, aperture, ISO and so on. Explaining this things also on test pictures.
It became late and her friend wasn’t showing up. So she was calling him, to hear that he canceled the meeting (and shooting), because his parents are in Cyprus.
Thank you very much for letting us know. ^^

Well, we spend the evening then photographing in the old town of Nicosia (I’ll post this pictures later in a different article.) and on the next morning we were photographing each other on the roof top of her house (10 floors). You find the pictures below. She is very photogenic and it seems like she is feeling well in front of a camera :)
We decided already to make more pictures. :)

I got my new baby, the Nikon D5200, last week and it was the first chance to test it extensively.

I hope you like the pictures and if you have any notes, suggestions and/or critic, then please leave me a comment below and tell me your thoughts.

Best regards
Gordon
