5-minute headshot

At the end of another very long day I still had some juice and lights set ready :) And there were a couple of cool guys helping us with running the photoshoot whom I wanted to photograph. Luckily for me they were interested.

So I just used one rather big softbox for a swift 3-minutes sessions for both Anvil and Carl. I kinda like the result ;)

Fashion lookbook - great team of professionals

It was a very long and fast-moving fashion lookbook photoshoot. The team was working together for the first time and I hope we will have a chance to work again, I like the result very much!

Thanks to all:

Make-up and Hair - Wenya Chang - amazing work, all images you'll see here are NOT touched for any skin or hair issues (and mostly straight out of the camera, just basic level/contrast/sharpening adjustments). During the whole shoot Wenya was all the time doing the right stuff in the right moment. No need to ask her - she fixes a problem before you see it.

Model - Micaela Piccolo - extremely professional and hard-working, I admire her because she almost couldn't stand at the end of the very hard day but was able to smile! And what a smile she has!!! :)

And to me she has that look of Monica Bellucci - check the pictures below for yourself ;)

Portrait photography of the actor Eric Jaeger

Headshots with actor Joe Beuerlein

What can be better than to meet lovely autumn morning in Central Park? We started a headshot/portrait session at 7.30am with the actor Joseph Beuerlein when the sun was still behind skyscrapers. And we were watching as it goes upper and coloring the trees and waking up the park.

Singing Italian - Headshot photography session

It was just wonderful weather on Nov 9th and I had a great on-location outdoor photo session with gorgeous Maristella. She is a singer and song-writer, I found her voice charming - you may check it on her web-site.

We worked on her promotional photographs during the session and regular headshots as well. Easy job considering that fact that she was posing for the portraits so professionally as if she spent whole life in front of photo camera :)

Jump up high - Model portfolio photography session

Here is another photo session for a model photography portfolio. I was mostly about to get some portrait with fashion-style lighting though :)
Besides Anthony was just great - I can recommend him as a model absolutely. He is ready to work, very professional and knows what to do...

Strobist info:
done with just 2 bare Speedlites 580EX. Back light and spot light with homemade barns sometime.
