BTS of Elizabeth and direct sunset light

Sometimes it really is only about finding that spot of light and having someone in front for a minute... 

Full editorial images, D in the Netherlands

Very often we shoot images in addition to the plan. when you have in mind 12 but end up taking a change to work more looks or sets or moods, having extra options when you need to select to be publi...

BTS video of light setup and comments on when things don't feel right

This will be kind of unsual to share. basically because it doesn't happen often. literally 2 times that i can remember in the last 13 years. When the energy between the model and the photographer i...

backlit work at the studio

as a photographer I never really enjoyed shooting backlit. I am much more someone who places the model on direct sunlight, full blast to the face, but there is an undeniable mood that comes from ha...

Long BTS video working with K in a pool (images posted separately)

This probably is a good way to show how I work and how we keep things moving and intense to get the frames we want. 

Using someone in this case to block a bit of the hard light in Capeto...

K in a pool

Sharing this set not only because i honestly think images are wonderful... but to explain what the Behind the scenes video shows we captured. 

South africa, noon, extremely hot and direc...

J in Chicago and the issues to create images

I remember this as a very very challenging session. Not because of her, absolutely not... but because light conditions were awful all day long. The apartment we had for the editorial was fantastic ...

Low light editorial, Alice in Germany.

It's always challenging when going to a location (apartment/studio this time) and you realize there is no light available. pushing the camera limits with very high ISO and making "darkness and shad...

Some moments together, Behind the scenes video following!

Becoming super quick one of my top 5 models since i started. her understanding of body work and movement is so so unique... 

Watch us work a full set at the studio

Some models work pose after pose after pose and, to be honest, that feels too robotic and fake to me. I much rather have flowing movements in a way that muscles are never relaxed and we don't lose ...

California desert and our time

shooting in the middle of the desert is exhausting, challenging and handling the 40+ degrees creates a kind of a weird energy... but when you have someone like Jana in front it really makes it all ...

unseen work... simplicity and beauty

quick set with her using sunlight and some shadows

outtakes from our denim campaign

very often becomes really difficult to choose the final frame when the model is this gorgeous. 

here 2 pics not selected from the time we spent shooting that set for the denim pants camp...

Setting up a bedsheet on the rooftop of the place where I stayed when we met ...

even if i fancy black and white, there is something about readhead models you can only capture in color... 

A rainy day in London and Blair on the terrace

I have been shooting "through glass" for years, but this time wanted to remove the whole reflection game and covering with shadows to have a cleaner, simpler image based more on movement and emotio...

BTS shooting on location + images that came from it (part 2)

and this is part 2 of the sets created with her.

Again no reflectors or looking for shade... 3pm sun blasting on her and keeping it suuuper short and intense as always. the whole set is ...

Behind the scenes video on location + images that came from it (part 1)

the other day i posted a little preview of the work done with her. There we go with a BTS video and the images taken... as you can see, moving quite a lot around her, no reflectors, no modifiers, n...

Some of our images together Part I

I spent 4 days with her creating images... here part 1 and soon a major update with part 2. 

2 outtakes from our studio work

While working on the next post I wanted to share this 2 outtakes from a studio session with Kat <3

Early access... Patreon Preview

hi! I was involved into a massive shooting a couple days ago. basically a dozen models and only 4h to shoot into a villa near Barcelona. 

That meant i had to do slots of around 12-15min ...

She is back...

getting things ready for next month... Maria was back at the studio. 

A little european gem in Bali

Previously unseen material with Cam in Bali.  

Unseen images from our days together

unseen work i felt like sharing... 

Because sometimes we need to use water to our advantage

Shot in Kiev, Ukraine... after few days not able to shoot on location because of heavy rain, we decided to get intentionally wet at the studio

Full recording of one of my sets and images that I took

One of our Patreons (AMD, thanks!) suggested that i'd record a bit longer video of how things are done. well, this is the uncut behind the scenes of the images you can see attached, unedited. from ...

Andrea Andra Andrea, hard light and reflections

Inside note: whenever I will shoot in water (pool, sun) I try to plan the shoot at noon so I have the hardest light possible... feeling bad for the models but results are epic. 

Quick visits are the best chance to meet someone

When a model shows up for literally 30 minutes and you explore a home and the surroundings.
