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 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.

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…)

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).

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)

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

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:

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.

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.

Who said gaming in Linux is hard? You just need a stuffed Tux and a playful model. Is that simple.

As anticipated here is the fruit of the photo session over the week-end with Irina. Lacking a better name, I titled it after the colors she was wearing, "Black versus White".
She was really nice, the location was OK, it lacked only a power source, so without the ability to use my gear fully, the light was less than perfect and the photos suffered. I suck.
Later, when shooting the Black set the sun appeared so part of this set has less portable flash and better light. Next time I must use some proper lights, not just uselessly carry them with me.

Mărțișor is a holiday for women, when they expect gifts, flowers and so, but this time I will do the other way, giving a present for men. Nicely packed and waiting:

In addition to taking photos at the Marțișor Fair at the Peasant Museum (Muzeul Țăranului Român, MTR) I also dis a short, crappy, video:

People are probably used with my bombastic titles, but this time there is a truth into it: Adina sings in a band called Heaven and she is also the manager, so she must also have some brains too.
The photo is made at her birthday, so try to count the roses if you want to learn her age (or not, since is not polite to reveal a lady’s age)
