The Western Flatline

300... sort of.

Model Sandy at a recent shoot. I shot her with the goal of processing the final image to look like the movie 300, but the black dress doesn't work as well as I'd hoped. The scarf is spot on though :-) A few more on Flickr, as always.

At the Universum Lounge

A different kind of processing. A little much, but it works with the high-key nature of the images. Shot with model Sarah Ann at the Universum Lounge in Berlin. A small set is over at Flickr, as usual.

Portrait of SarahAnn

Model Sarah Ann, my current muse. A model with great moves, generosity, and patience.

Double Hands

Model Sarah Ann, who has been absolutely great to work with. I think I have better shots of her, but I really liked the way it seemed one hand was reaching through the mirror to grab the wrist on the other side. See the best of that particular session in the Flickr Set.

Scarf

Model Sarah Ann, and my scarf, on a cold day in an under-heated studio.

Hair around her neck

Fingers on the Chair

2010-01-25T14:36:23Z

Model Sandy Meerstein, waiting at the chair and indulging my love for shiny leather. The goal was to create a simple look that resembles Day Light, a little bit like the current Louis Vuitton campaign... and I am pleased with the result. I wish the pose was more casual, I may end up cropping this image more tightly. The best images from this session can be seen over at the Flickr Set.

At the Bubble Wrap Window

2010-01-24T14:44:51Z

Model Sandy Meerstein, looking almost Caribbean at a window isolated with bubble-wrap on Berlin's coldest day in years. It was -19 C outside, and all the blowers in the studio could barely get the place warmed up. Props to her and Studio owner Helmut Biess for having such a positive attitude... and fortified coffee!

Bastard!

Model Anna Drumm during a fun but technically-difficult shoot at an apartment in Beverly Hills. The place had mirrors EVERYWHERE, there was no way to hide the strobes or the stands, and the reflections and flare were virtually impossible to get out of the frame.

Am I the Devil?

Model Anna Drumm after a tough shoot. The location turned out to be incredibly difficult, and thanks to her easy attitude and patience, I ended up getting a decent shot after all.
