Behind the Scenes

bts.jpg

I somewhat accidentally snapped a good behind the scenes image from the shoot I did this evening. Here I am testing poses and lighting, so didn't even try to hide my phone, aka my remote. I had the screen nicely pointed to the camera so I though it would be interesting for you to see what my most important tool after the camera itself looks like. I can change setting and see how I am framed, focus, see where light hits my skin and of course, press the shutter, which I do have on a 2 second timer, all without running back and forth to the camera.

This shot is obviously a very undone image, straight from the camera, I only just got the pictures to the computer and I'll start going through them, selecting and then figuring out what I wanna do with them. All I know is that I'm pretty sure I'll keep these as coloured portraits. If I don't feel like sleeping, I might even publish some during the night. We'll see.

Are you interested in the behind the scenes action from my self portrait shoots and wanna see more?

Sort:  

Hmmmm an I'm interested in behind the....?
Are you kidding!? Of course. These types of posts are what the world craves for!
And it's all mine!!!!

Joke.

Yeah, seen the pic. Wondered what's up with the phone. Thought it was some sort of sexualities innuendo... Alas sadly mistaken...

On a photo analysis level, your use of shadows are quite fascinating. It highlights the glow on your smooth skin. The bench top pose just screams animalistic energies. Because your legs are sorted with that single light source it does draw the eye to the legs and forces the observer to follow your body up.

Are you playing with our emotions?

If so, I'm not afraid to say you have succeeded. Makes me kinda guilty staring at the photo.

First, I shall do more bts stuff, I love sharing it!

Second, I am an animal, who liked the shadows, with the highlight playing on my skin. And there are two lights, the cool toned light from outside, the warm light inside. My legs are what I like the most so I like to accentuate them.

Third, never ever ever feel guilty for staring at my picture, that is the biggest compliment to me, to capture someones eye for more than half a second, especially in this fast everything world we live in.

You are right. There are two lights. It must be the leg position then. Very mesmerising. And thank you for the permission... I shall take my time enjoying the sites.

It's important to smell the flower when you encounter exquisite ones in your journey through life. Very cliche I know but aptly relevant. Nice... And.... Slow

Either format is a-ok. Whatever you like best. Being natural is the best, and you don't seem to have a problem handling that.

Do you ever photograph others professionally?

I don't. I've been asked a lot, by friend or acquaintances, but so far, I have declined. I don't think I have enough skills, especially people skills, for that :D

Hey, you edited your comment, now I have to too. In a way I am a fan of being somewhat natural, but then again, not at all, polished is the way to go, but not so that I'm a complete catfish

Hah, busted for my comment edit. I thought I snuck it in in time. The first step is admitting that I have a problem with it, and I do.

By natural, I meant more of a natural tone, natural environment, nature and lighting. You even take pics near the water from memory, which is right by catfish.

And natural style. I resisted the urge to edit and am now making your comment wall messy. Wah.

Fuck you 😂😂

Well aren't you a funny one! I'm also smooth like a baby seal and I like to swim! I like pictures to not look like out of a comic book, if that makes sense.

Of course. Your pics rock. My attempt to make a joke and show that I remember some of your older work may have shown a weakness in my own people skills if it missed. I was trying to say that you're natural like all of those things I tried to list to sound smart.

Those socks are the best though I used to have tones of them and then suddenly they get made their way into my brothers wardrobe and I never saw them ever again

I usually wear ankle socks but since I got these proper good pair of socks, I'm kinda hooked. Though I like to roll up my jeans and have bare ankles, so there ruin it :D

Love your work, your images are so playful...
