Axelle and I shot a 2nd set mixing latex and vanilla clothing. I showed you results from the 1st set in this post back in April. These are results from that 2nd set. It is sorta sporty. Axelle is wearing her own coveralls over a white latex top from Blacklickorish. Just as with the other combo Axelle tried, this outfit would be great to take outside too. Something with like a skateboard maybe?
It seems like forever since I have done something with 2 colors as a backdrop. I did some cool things on shoots with Shana and Delphine in early 2019. After that there was a whole lot of nothing. When Kirsten told me she had a white latex dress and a red petticoat, I built a white/red set to shoot that outfit. We added a couple of elements from my collection–the red bow and high heels–to complete the outfit.
Late last year, I had another go at the famous #blacktapeproject. This time with Daria. Combining the #blacktapeproject with latex again, of course. After the little project Jolien and the 1st real try with Shannety, I think I am getting the hang of it. I promised myself to dive into the concept of #blacktapeproject. I took a few online classes with Joel Alvarez of Black Tape Project and I think I am ready for the next step. I’ll have a go at somewhat more elaborate projects as soon as possible. But for now, enjoy these pics Daria and I did together last year.
Blue is her color, but red suits Daria just fine too!
Both the blue set and the red set where shot with the same lighting setup. Changing the color of the color gels surely did change the mood of the photos. It did not change the mood of Daria though. She is always her most spontaneous happy joyful self in front of the lens. I love working with her!
Right at the end of the session, I tried out my new Omni Creative Filter System from Lensbaby for a few test shots. I love the effect. Kinda fun, kinda strange to see what a little pane of glass will do to your image. I think this will work miracles for on-location shoots.
Portraits and headshots is not something I do every day. But once in a while it is fun to do. Certainly when someone as lovely as Caroline come to me asking if I can do new headshots for her. She called me up and said she had a new hairdo. And then she asked if I would wanna do new headshots… Who am I to refuse, right?
I’m using the tips & tricks from Peter Hurley to do my headshots. My setup is not nearly as professional as Peter Hurley’s setup but it does the trick.
When we were done with headshots, we changed the mood a bit. Out went the bright formal background. I replaced it with something more moody while Caroline mixed up her outfit to match the mood. We combined her beautiful lace bodice with a latex skirt from Atsuko Kudo. After doing photo shoots with Jolien and Axelle combining latex and vanilla clothes, I am starting to really like that theme.
I had been looking for glitter boots for quite some time. When I finally found the perfect pair, and ordered them online, they got stuck in customs for some strange reason. They arrived just in time for my photo shoot with Daria. She loved those glitter boots so much, she just had to wear them for this shoot.
Oh, and btw… Keith Urban (check this music video) couldn’t be more wrong: blue is her color!
Eva and I had a mood board lying around for this Like A Doll project for ages. We thought it was about time we go started on it. For me, latex would be the outfit of choice. Obviously! Eva came up with the idea to use red ribbon for the ropes. It took us a little more time than expected to get that part setup. Therefor, the set for our shoot wasn’t as dressed up as I would like to have it. But I am still happy with the results.
Actually, I think the shoot turned out to be a little more kinky than expected. Maybe I aught to let my naughty side out it the open more often.
I have to commend our make-up artist Ashley Jennes for her excellent work. She did Eva’s make-up and hair. Ashley owns a beauty salon called Brush and Beauty. She’s a great MUA, professional and fun to work with. She’s quite famous actually… She was part of the make-up crew for a couple of Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah movies. See if you can spot her name in the movie credits.
I liked the results from earlier shoots with Magalie and Shannety using edge lights so much, that I decided to have another go at it with Shannety. A little more light this time. To show the reflective features of the semi-transparent latex blouse from Libidex. I love the atmosphere from the edge light. You’ll be seeing more of these types of images from me in the future.
And who would have thought you could create a little extra je-ne-sais-quoi with 2 bottles of Face Mist?
I had used my right light to create a sort of aureola behind model Shannety in an earlier shoot. The next logical step would be to add color gels to that idea. So for these 2 photos, I taped a red color in front of my ring light. And I lit Shannety with 2 different colors obviously.
Jill is a gorgeous and sweet curvy model I met on one of the castings for Curves Model Agency. As is often the case with new faces, she was in need of pics to get her portfolio started. We scheduled a portrait session late last year. Our goal was to have at least one good head shot to present herself to potential modeling customers.
I asked her to prepare a several of outfits for our photo shoot. If she would feel up to it, would could also do some fashion shots. After she saw, the dark & edgy series I did with Magalie, she asked me if we could do that too. Jill said she had the perfect dress for it. So that is what we did.
