Aurora and I met several times before: indoor, outdoor, remote, make and female duo shoots. This time at the beach around golden hour. we know each other that well that not much direction is needed. Aurora is a pro anyway. We were lucky with the bright sun, made a lot of typical beach shots and some contrasty work in color and BnW. have a look.

This shoot Christall (@christall4) and I planned months in advance. Location is close to maybe the most polluted spot in the Netherlands. Its an art park close to the steel plant of Tata steel. its located in the dunes, close to the beach and sea. The Park is called :'Zee van Staal", or Sea of steel". It consists of about 15 huge steel constructions, most of Corten Steel. 

I love the combination of contrasts, soft beauty and elegance of Christall next to the raw environment and huge pieces of art . It reminds me of the song: 'Dansen op de vulkaan' of the Dutch rock band 'de Dijk'.

Noushje is the first Dutch model since long. This maked our communication even easier. Noushje is very easy going, replies fast at messages and everything went in a flow. Also the shoot. This time I changed our living in a home studio and we made some stuff in the backyard.

Noushje is not only beautiful, but also has a great posing style. You will see at the images below.

After a couple of years I had the opportunity to shoot with Ira again. She stayed close to the dunes, beach, sea, so a location choice wasn't difficult. We went for a shoot towards the golden hour to 2 special spots. Ira is not only beautiful, but also very versatile, brave and has a lot of enthusiasm. We shot in a kind of pier, the beach and in the waves of the rather cold sea. slowly the sun disappeared after the horizon to give an extra dramatic accent to the images.

Remote shoot with Ciara (@modeladventurer) and Lucy (@artmodel-lucy) in Canada. Three continents come together: Canada, New Zealand and the Netherlands. Ciara asked if we could do a remote shoot together. Luckily Lucie stayed with Ciara, so we planned a duo shoot. I liked to go outdoor, but we had a second option, if it would rain. And it poured. So Ciara and Lucy went to an abandoned schoolbuilding. 

Here we made , in my opinion, a wonderful shoot. We worked in a flow, models did there poses, we shared ideas, I gave ample directions. You see that the 2 models are not only very experienced, they felt comfortable and danced through the raw surroundings.

Seeing the results while editing, it looks like a modern ballet, an abandoned dance. For me its hard to give this shoot a caption. 

All the edits are in colour and BnW. It was hard for me to decide what gave the best feeling of the shoot/ dance/ ballet.

I like to thank both Ciara and Lucy for the great performance.

Outdoor shoot with Bella Ballerina. location was the beach not far from my house. We had a good pre shoot communication and where prepared for a lovely couple of hours, towards the sunset. we were lucky with the great weather. Bella showed the beauty, elegance of a ballerina.This resulted in a great number of beautiful images. 

Illyria and I had just 1,5 hour to shoot together. it was an amazing 90 min. Everything went in a flow. I was lucky with the studio,  (@dreamingofmodels), great location and the wonderful afternoon light. Illyria made it a wonderful shoot. She is not only a stunning beauty, but also easy going and she has an array of elegant poses. One of the best models I ever worked with.

I hope I can see her again and work together on even more beauty. 

When I saw images of Olga , I was totally in love with her posing style. we organised a remote shoot, assisted by Yuri Brut. Sometimes you dont need many words to create  an atmosphere of trust. Olga went through my ideas in a flow. Simple ideas, beautiful , elegant poses gave wonderful results. The location/ studio with beautiful walls, great light and props created a wonderful environment. You can imagine I was very happy after this remote shoot. 

Mia (Aimmodel) is traveling through southern Europa. Hiking, searching for photography possibilities, in nature. After Gibraltar she is now in Andorra, finding the most beautiful waterfalls. So time to meet each other again remote. 

Remote shoot with Rose and Leon at Aura Photographic studio. My 3rd duo shoot with this couple, and my second remote with his wonderful duo. They work so well together, it makes it easy to make your ideas happen. Next to their professionalism they are very pleasant to work with, making difficult poses look easy.
