The hard life of the photographer
A photographer life can be hard, he is a pro, must behave and don’t do like the bozos (cocalari):
And he will receive his compensation, in the form of pretty eyes and beautiful smile:
But know what? Life is not always bad, when he go to the other end he will receive again the bonus of the eyes and the smile.

Paint my body and make it green
Still busy trying to get on top of the photos from 4tuning, but I feel like keeping the interest up with another preview that I’m sure will make plenty of guys coming back for updates:

4tuning 2010
I am swamped with photos from the just closed 4tuning auto show, have about 3.5 tons of photos to sort and process, so far I was able just to put out a small catalog and to start blogging with, from what I saw so far, the photo I like the most from the event:
Stay tuned (pun intended!), more to come…

Introducing my new friends
They are two of my new friends, the black and the silver (there is one more black, for “bullet time action) and I was deeply pissed, I think it shows:

Beyond photoography: Illustration
After you gathered some photos it the time to make something useful with them, like drawing some illustrations – this one is made with Inkscape using as a reference one of the pieces from the photoshot.
I know I could spend some more time on this, improve the shading, add a few highlights and better texture in the hair, maybe enhance the cleavage… but enough for today.

She and her boots
I have to witness I liked the idea of a delicate girl wearing big, bulky, rough boots, I think it has the potential for a good story, with tension and visual impact.
Unfortunately, the boots were not the best for the shoot, so the first step in dealing with them was to fire-up GIMP and erase those strident red/yellow labels, a supposed bad girl will not show such labels.
Then the overall color of the brown leather was not matching well the rest of the clothes (those are mountain boots, not war boots…) so I changed their color a bit, going from brown to black. At this step I cleaned them a bit – not much, such thing is better done before taking the photos.
After this work I think the result is better compared with the starting point, still there is room for further improvement.

Sexy photographers
No matter how I pose and what I pretend, I know well and won’t try to deny what not I am: a sexy photographer. But what I can do is acknowledge and show you some: no matter how small their cameras are and how often used, by simply using them they are “photographer” and as for the “sexy” part… you tell who is sexier, the model or the photographer (hint: they take turns, so…)

Cards
I think creating and printing a set of photographer business cards is supposed to make me take this photography thing more seriously, even if the cards are as little serious as possible (aren’t the card supposed to represent yourself correctly? I hope they do).

Spring again
I think is the time to take a pause from echoing the last photoshot, otherwise people will start labelling me as “obsessed” or something, so let’s take a look at the spring which is trying to settle (it won’t be easy, the forecast says “light snow” for tonight)

The extra mile
I am known to fall into extremes at times, like a week ago when a photoshot came less than perfect (read: “messed up”) due to the lack of a power outlet where I could plug the lights. Frustrated enough, I took care of the problem by buying some power cords: a raw cable, 30 meters long and a 10 meters roll, for a total of 40 meters… that should be enough, I thought.
Now I wonder if the decision was the best: instead of the 30m cable, a 20m one could have been long enough, but considerably easier to carry around (is heavy!)… but the bigger the better, I have more autonomy this way. As for the weight… that’s between me and my back :p
Anyway, it was not a problem… the large majority of the problems you encounter can be solved by throwing money at them and as long as you afford that, they are not really problems. Problems are those you can’t afford the price or the ones which can’t be solved with money, there are some of those too…

Enhancing her
Is arrogant to pretend you enhance the model, but after shooting you have to enhance the photos a bit, even if you just smooth the skin, sharpen the eyes and mouth and adjust the colors. Being quite a FLOSS zealot, I do that with GIMP:

Making-of: Black versus White
My video camera is a toy, its battery lasts only a short while, so it wasn’t possible to record the entire photo session and as a result the “making of” covers only a small part of it and not necessarily the best moments. Also, the camera was all by itself, on a small tripod, without anybody controlling it.

Master of the wind part 3
Mastering the wind is fun, but when you are shooting inside there is no much wind, except what you can create artificially. And if you lack electricity on the shooting place, so no fan is usable (supposing you had the means to carry a fan) the best solution is to have someone make the wind using a reflector, just as I did.
Of course this type of wind is not to be used for upskirting (unless the model does want that), but to make the hair more dynamic, more beautiful and sexier.
