somebody must change
To tell you why I am so happy with these pictures, I have to tell you something from my photographic story. Let's go back in time:
More than ten years ago I had a studio near my home, where I spent most of the time and took most of my pictures. I had endless opportunities in and around this studio. One of them was to take pictures from outside through the open door. The model got bright frontal daylight, but was shaded from both sides. This was because it was indirect daylight, a very soft yet contouring, powerful light. The best light for portrait or nude portraits. Due to bad circumstances, I had to leave this studio after a few years.
I got an intermediate studio not far away, with a lot of space and lots of opportunities to take pictures. But not with the opportunity to take pictures through the open door. I missed that very much. I tried to solve this problem for a couple of weeks and on a dark and rainy November day the idea came up to me to use my favorite tungsten light to imitate the sun. I built my "open door" in the studio with a 2000W Arrilite, a large heat-resistant Chimera softbox and two black-lacquered styrofoam sheets. after two sessions with this setting I improved it with a mirror to reflect the light and make it even softer. From now on, this was one of my standard settings in the studio. Since I haven't had a studio for the past three years, I lost that opportunity. But now I have enough space in my new studio to use it. I am very happy to be able to show you my first results even if the are very similar to each other.
The attitude of my model, the incredible Jessy Ley, reminds me a lot of the Girl on the "Blind Faith" debut album from 1969, even though she is more than twice the age of the girl on the cover (the older ones may remember, the younger ones must use google).
Incidentally, I think that today it is absolutely impossible to put an eleven year old girl naked on the cover of a record or anywhere else.
What do you think? I would like to get any feedback.

Workshop Nude Portrait
with model Vanessaniedziela, 2023-07-30 11:00h - 16:00h
42697 Solingen / Nadrenia Północna-Westfalia / Niemcy / Europa
On July 30th, 2023 I will host another photo workshop.
The main topic of the workshop will be portraits and nude portraits. The goal is not to let nudity become the defining element of the nude portraits.
We will start with a small round to introduce and get to know each other. A short theoretical part follows about the conditions in the location, the peculiarities of the light in the location and the special features of nude portraits. Afterwards it is photographed directly.
The focus is on having fun with photography. the eye for the picture, the recognition and use of existing possibilities, and, if necessary, the handling and communication with the model.
The workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced photographers, as I will respond individually to the needs of each participant during the workshop.
A reflex camera or system camera with high-speed lenses is helpful. the targeted sharpness and a carefully chosen blur area are important components in nude photography.
The workshop will take place in Solingen (Kottendorfer Str. 21 in 42697 Solingen, 4th floor). You can park on the street in front of the studio or in the yard if something is free there. The enchanting Vanessa will be available to us as a model.
Date: Sunday, 07/30/2023
Duration: 11.00 a.m. - approx. 4.00 p.m
