B&W series

My third post of the year !- shame on me ! I went for a series of black and white photos to emphasize the styling and the mood of each photo.

RAW

Some days ago I photographed the lovely Rita, my second photoshoot of the year, and I went for a very simple, raw look. All of these images were taken using natural light and a white backdrop. 

It's something a little different for me but I am happy I took the "risk". 

Hope you like it !

Bright little dots

The concept/idea is not new but I wanted to try it myself, in my little studio - read "my white wall attic".

Blogging

For some reason or the other, photography blogs always go through a long time of "no posts" for weeks, maybe even months but I want to change that by posting more inspirational images, personal thoughts and images of my own to fill this space with beautiful and pleasing content. 

Below you can see some images from my first photoshoot of 2013, with the talented Khristina.

This photo is from 2012 and it was taken in my bedroom with a white paper sheet  behind the model and natural light coming through a window, quite the simple set up.

2013 - Have a creative one !

I've been neglecting this blog and all the people who visit this page do not deserve so much time without one single post.

 

I hope you've all had a wonderful New Years Eve and I wish you all a great and super creative 2013.

 

It's been a long time since my last photoshoot but I have some things planned, and some images to be released from last year. I hope 2013 will be a great year to work on my personal style when it comes to shooting and styling... I'm having a creative crisis lately but I'm eager to change my photography style a bit and try new concepts and put some knowledge into practice.

 

I just want to let you know that I haven't forgot this place, but with all things creative sometimes all we need it's time, unil we find our path again.

Rain, rain, rain

Taking photos outside in the Autumn or Winter can be quite the impossible task, as it was proven this past weekend ! My street style shoot was scheduled for saturday but it rained (more like poured) all day ! 

I miss shooting, I really do ! 


Meanwhile you can visit my Facebook page or my Website (will be updated soon), if you haven't already !

Street Style Inspired

I believe this photo was taken by Scott Schuman from The Sartorialist blog.

 

I am planning a shoot inspired by street style, both styling and way of photographing. Street Style photos became really popular these days, and I am specially drawn to fashion week's photos and those incredible stylish people who wear eccentric outfits.

 

I miss shooting so I'm really excited about this.
