Art at Art
Usually nude photography is called art nude, to give it a more feeling. This time the word art is in several ways genuine. I have organised a shoot with Anastasia (@anastasiaarteyeva), in several ways an artist: she is a great sculptor, painter and also a very arty model. go to her website to find her beautiful work) Working with such a broad artist gave an extra dimension to the images. Anastasia is very involved in wat we produced together, a wonderful experience. Have a look and decide yourself.
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.
Water
TGHe third element is water. Model is Ciara (modeladventurer). Ciara stayed with us while she was on tour in the Netherlands. I invited her for an early morning shoot in the sand dunes, beach, sea, close to my house. As usual it was fun to work together and to come to a great series.
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.
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.
