The 4 elements
This year I want to make a small project, the 4 elements: Air, Fire, Earth and Water, In total 4 shoots with 1 of the elements as subject. For every element I asked models to fill in this concept> at the moment I just finished the element Air and just shot the element Fire. Sometimes its a more abstract view, but the models and I worked on this concept in our own vision.
Fire
The second element came by coincidence. Models: Modeladventurer and Riley Jade had just a little spare time left in their remote shoots. One of the options was the burnt forest in Jasper national park. It was caused by the dramatic forest fire last year. We had only one hour to work on the 2nd concept of my 4 elements. So we had a quick and smooth shoot, thnx to the 2 very pro models to come to this dramatic set: we figured the start of the fire to the colourful flames until the result of the fire.
Air
For this first element I asked Zuza ballerina. Zuza is an elegant ballet dancer and a wonderful model. She moves light like a feather in the wind, sometimes lightfooted, sometimes more in a storm and than resting after the storm. it was a wonderful experience ,working with this amazing ballerina, wonderful model and great personality.
Xenia
This time again a remote shoot, organised by Yuri Brut. A young model @Aksynia_carrot, in a wonderful location. the carrot in her name is obvious. We had to get used to each other but after a few shots everything went smooth., certainly with Yuris help. Have a look.
Sunday Service
Sara (@sarascarletmodel) had booked a B&B in a former church for a weekend. So it was a great option to shoot here at Sunday morning. my first nudes in a church. Sra is wearing a corset and headpiece of Candymakeupartist.
the one and only
I am following Laura Giraudi already a long, but never got the chance to work with her. I now got the opportunity to have a remote shoot at Kempston studio. Laura is very experienced, has her own style. Strangely she never did a remote shoot before. after a few questions of her side, everything went in a flow, also withe the help of Andy, the studio owner. Laura goes easily from one pose in another, being all the time amazing in front of the camera.
Sisters?
Joy, Lucy and I planned an outdoor remote shoot. Joy ( @Joylamore) lives in Andalucia and Lucy (@lucy artmodel) was visiting her. The shoot was planned in the mountains at a lake with rocks around. Unfortunately Joy messaged that is was cold and rainy at the shooting day. We stayed indoors and went for the shoot in Joy's studio. I was first disappointed, but the shoot turned out to be great. It was a simple studio with a beautiful background. We just used an octo box and the daylight. When 2 amazing models are used to each other and make beautiful poses and shapes together it works out perfect. The shoot went in a flow , was very productive with great results. Most edits are in colour and BnW, giving a different atmosphere.
Ciara & Cristina
Ciara (the Modeladventurer) have a long time contact, but the distance between Canada and Holland was a bridge too far. We worked together in a remote duo shoot (with Lucy art model) last year. I was happy that Ciara and her friend Cristina ( Kalopsia) made a duo Europe tour. They stayed for a couple of days in our house. They both traveled Holland and we organised a shoot at Zaan studio. We made 3 totally different sets and even a video clip ( Idon't want to see you anymore , but I don't want to see you any less)
I am totally happy with the results, judge yourself.
The hunting cabin
I only know Naya Momedova( and Yuri) from remote shoots. The global situation makes it impossible to travel to Moscow and very hard the other way. So we worked together remotely for several years. Again Naya found a wonderful location , it feels like a hunting cabin for me. With the wonderful help of Yuri Brut , we made a wonderful shoot, with Naya shows her elegance. I edited in colour and BNW. BnW is most of the time my favorite. Choose yourself.
