Female portraiture – Olga

Lunchtime photoshoot with Olga in Tiergarten, Berlin. It’s a little like Central Park in New York – big, lush, right in the middle of the city.

I got Olga to loosen up by dancing around the grass. One must enjoy the shoot as much as I enjoy shooting. Snap, snap, snap and it’s over.

First shoot of 2010. Snow + light

This winter shoot marks my first shoot of 2010 and I’m glad it went this way.
I had Madari, who is the most wonderful, trusted and accommodating assistant, and Rifani and Olga, who are absolutely deeply in love.

We certainly weren’t working in comfortable temperatures so my mind was working ahead of locations all the time, who to shoot what, from where, and what expressions there was to capture.

Because of the reflection of the snow, (and because I stubborn shoot only on manual), there was some getting used to with the camera readings, everything tends to be overexposed by one to two stops depending on the intensity of the sunlight.

This trip to Berlin’s actually the first time I experienced snow up close and personal.
Countries I visited before during the winter always snowed a day after I left, first in New York, then in Seoul.
But this time, it realllly snowed out.

Pictures below, and more on the main wedding site.
cheers
