Nothing wrong with a bit of police brutality cop and robbers game role playing.
Don’t you feel now like becoming a felon only to get a bit of such brutal treatment?

Beautiful girls? Check. Nice legs? Check. Minuscule skirts? Check. Sitting on cars or bikes? Check. Trying a sexy pose? Check. An unscrupulous photographer? Check. The use of a flash unit to add needed light to the shadowed areas? Check.
The result? An interesting number of pantyshots. Still debatable if they are candid or not, but this is unimportant.

Another large post with photos from the bikes and tuning salons, this time more focused on girls, with good looking portraits. Enjoy.
I have in the queue more portraits, taken even closer, but you’ll have to wait a couple of days until then, tomorrow we’ll talk about panties.

You can’t have a good motor show without sexy celebrities and you can’t have a bike salon in Bucharest without Bebelușele, it would not be the same without them. They are beautiful and a pleasure for any photographer (even if this time they were places in a horrible spot with bad light coming from behind so you had to do mostly "contre jours".

I have in mind a quote which is so obvious that a lot of people should said it already "a car show is for a photographer just like a candy store for a child"
So the candy store cam to me this spring in the form of the 2009 edition of both the Bikes Salon SMAEB and the car tuning salon 4tuning, something I couldn’t miss, no matter what.
I took effectively tons of photos (thousands), like in this post general shots of the show but more will come when I get to process them: a lot of beautiful booth babes, some portraits, a number of panty shots and a few surprises.
I am not much into cars or bikes, so the machines are only [at most] a secondary element in my pictures, so if you are searching for cars, maybe this is not the best place to look at.
On a technical side, I attended the fairs both Saturday and Sunday but tried something: one day shooting with a zoom lens (28-300mm) and a lot of flash (my first massive use of flash ever) and the other day used a 50mm prime and almost no flash. Being lazy, I still prefer to use the zoom lens.
The hardest part was, as always is the case for me, the selection. I just find awfully hard to reject photos, even when they have visible defects, I still find a thing or two what I like. This is my largest weakness as a photographer.
So stay ready, more to come…

One of the most popular tourism destination for Romanians is Turkey, so inevitably agencies present at a Romanian Tourism Fair must attract visitors with some oriental belly dance and if you, as a photographer, spot a cooperative dancer, the shoting is set:

The ugly to hot ratio at a tourism fair is high, probably because the booth babes are supposed to talk with the public, not only to sit on display like at a car show (…or it was yet another effect of the economic crisis?), but a booth for Malta vacancies was putting quite a show: they had to bikini babes posing (unfortunately, in the hours I roamed around only the brunette was "working").
They also had a couple of guys in heavy armours, posing as knights, without Malta crosses and with a shiny cardboard background, so not very realistic but still some effort.

From the photographer point of view, the spring edition of the Bucharest Tourism Fair (Tirgul de Turism al Romaniei) was worse than the autumn one: the place was very crowded, being hard for you to get some good shots (and considering the bad light, it was quite an effort).
But being insistent enough, you can get something, including revealing cleavages like this:

The Nautical Salon in Bucharest was supposed to be a big event, but it wasn’t that big, barely filling a hangar at the Romaero Baneasa Aircraft Factory and it missed the most important part: babes on boats, there were not enough of those, how did they expect to sell boats? 😛

A Luxury Show is a big event, including a lot of activities, from classical presentation of luxury products to bikini action and to fashion shows. So I used the opportunity and shoot the fashion show.

Such thing just happens: you are at a Luxury Show shooting the preparations for a fashion show when you see right behind you a gorgeous blonde wearing a small bikini in a hot tub. Of course you turn around and start clicking on your camera…
Update: some 3 years later, I revisited one pic from this set and experienced with new photo editing.

The admission price is a bit high at 60 RON, but overall I think those were well spent money, it was a great opportunity for some nice photos, mostly portraits (but there are more coming)
PS: there are more things coming from that event.

Last wee-end, at the "Dulciuri pentru toti" ("Sweets for everybody") fair in Bucharest, is worse than porn: more addictive, triggering an instantaneous body reaction (mouth watering, hunger) and politically incorrect (for diabetic people). But is fun, enjoy.

Trying to take some photos at the "Gaudeamus" book fair is not an easy task: the place was crowded with no much room for the photographer and the interesting stands were lighted poorly, so you don’t have much success with telephoto lenses either. I am not that happy with the session.

The Tourism Fair was a big disappointment, I expected a lot more hostess, and more cooperative and better looking. So I was stuck at photographing mostly food, furniture and such.
