My favorite type of shooting nudes. Lighting and shadows.

Thank you. I prefer to hide than to fully expose. It needs deep mystery...

Behind The Lens

Location

Zagreb, Croatia - an on location shoot.

Time

It was a late afternoon, I remember driving up from Rijeka to Zagreb, and almost being late for the shoot.

Lighting

Lightning was set up using 2 1000W construction site light beams through a white sheet.

Equipment

This particular shot was made with an Olympus E3, 35-100mm f2.

Inspiration

I have always been a fan of female bodies. The curves and shapes and the pure machinery behind a female body is something to be deeply admired.

Editing

It was a simple conversion in Lightroom to B&W with curves and shadows adjustment. The light did smoothing of the skin on it's own accord.

In my camera bag

Nikon D750, Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8, Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VRII, Nikkor 85mm f1.4, Tamron 15-30 f2.8, Fuji XT1/4, Fujinon 23 1.4, 56 1.2, 60 2.4, 27 2.8, Samyang 12 2.8. Fuji GFX50S 110 f2, 32-64 f4, 18 f4

Feedback

Work with people not models. Trust is the key part. The first shoot is the most challenging one. Your first model is your stepping stone into adulthood. Women have a 6th sense. If you think with your pants no women will take her clothes in front of you. (we are talking about your beginnings, not movies)
