I had the absolute fortune today of working with a BEAUTIFUL young lady called Kalandra. She is Stefan's cousin and she contacted me after seeing the shots I did of Stefan.

She'd never done a studio shoot before, so she was very nervous when we started. When she started relaxing, however, we had an AMAZING shoot and I took, in my opinion, some of the best photographs I've taken since I got my into photography. I'm absolutely ecstatic with them! She turned out to be a natural and she was extremely diverse in her looks. I was really impressed with her and I hope I get to work with her again.

I used a different type of post-processing on these shots as well. I believe it's called "acidify" and "cross-processing"? Some of the images are also high-key. I love the blues and greens it adds to the pictures. It might not be everyone's cup of tea and it does cause some blow-outs on some of the images, but I think it works?

Other than that, I also put a lot more effort into the lighting as well as the direction of the model. The latter was a complete first for me - telling the model exactly what I'd like her to do etc.

All of these things combined resulted in a set that I'm over the moon about. I hope you guys like it too?

I'll add the images to this journal as I upload them.



As always, I really appreciate any feedback, favourites and watches, even if I don't reply and say "thanks" to all of them - I do notice and appreciate them.

Thanks for looking,
Johann.
