made with my mamiya on Fuji FP-100, which has been expired for more than ten years.
Last week we implemented the idea again after three years.
I asked this community about the reuse of an older idea and decided that it doesn't matter and that I don't care if someone likes it or not.

Manya on the floor taken on the evening of an hot and rainy day last summer.

Usually I write some words about the shoot or anything else I have in mind. But these days it seem as if I ran out of words.
So enjoy the flawless beauty of Demi without meaningful words.

One of my favorite works is painting models in some way and then photographing the result.

I would like to use strkng to find models for this type of photography.

Dear models, please contact me if you can imagine becoming part of my projects.

As a long-time user of strkng, I would like to use the feedback section to consider together with other users how strkng should change in order to remain interesting in the future. For me, the problem is that I have not been able to assign new stars for a long time and also cannot put users on my list without removing others. This will certainly be the case for many, that's why the list of photographers and models is stagnating. For years, the same photographers have been in the first places, although they are no longer really active. New pictures and photographers hardly get any stars.

Maybe you are interested in collecting a few ideas to increase the attractiveness of strkng again.

In the picture you can see the wonderful Dutch model Ameria

During my shoots, I always experiment with images in which the model is not the focus. Sometimes randomly just with misfocus, but if possible I look for another point to set the focus. Here I was lucky that there was a small step between the floorboards that forms the sharpening point.
Second one is a nearly conventional picture, what do you prefer?
Do you like experimental photography, do you maybe do it yourself in any way?
Though you don't really see a lot go her, I like to thank the wonderful Jinny, she's a very special, unique model.

If you had asked me ten years ago if you could make a portrait with 50mm, I would have said vehemently that this is far too wide-angle. for me the only possible lens for people was 85mm. Today I even make portraits with 35mm focal length, and I say it don't matter what lens you use when you use it the right way.

Can you tell me which picture was made with which lens, I used every mentioned lens: 35mm, 50mm, 85mm

Also feel free to comment on the pictures.

Every now and then I book a professional model for a shooting. If working with this model is successful, I book her again.
In a discussion about paying a model for free artistic work with another photographer he asked me why I pay for a model when I’ve already seen her naked.
Is it only me who is thinking this is a weird question?
I don’t know with what intentions this photographer is taking pictures from nude models. For me his question implies that one only makes nude art just to collect as much naked models as possible.
Since then the question why I shoot nudity is puzzling me. What about you. Why are you Shootings nude models? Why are you shoot the same model again? Why do you shoot with new models? And why do you pay for it or why don’t you?
