This is a photoshoot we did with a model Nijole a while ago. Shes a real beauty, and though she is not a professional model, but a professional go-go dancer the photos turned out quite well as she was feeling really relaxed in front of the camera. I would say sh is a natural.
At first we stated with some natural light photos by the big window in my loft apartment.
That nice yellow wardrobe she brought called for a few color finished shots too.
Constant physical exercise resulted in a nice and fit body she has.
Then i have decided to do a few wild fox style shots using hard light (strobe without light modifiers) at the white wall.
Another hard light shot with a changed wardrobe and monochrome conversion to mimic a fashion shot.
Afterwards we have rolled out a black paper background and since she has brought a big bag of clothing we went with a militaristic look
Since she had such a great constitution i pulled out a few t-shirts from my last photoshoot for fitness brand MPP Clothing and we have tried a few of those on.
My editing skills were not that great (not saying they are great now either) but while making that post i saw there the a few unedited shots from that photoshoot back in 2013 so you will be seeing more of Nijole in the upcoming days. You will be able to decide if my retouching skills improved over the years or just got worse :)

Interesting to see the model in the two different setting. You may find it strange, but although I normally go for black&white first, I like photos Nr. 3 and 4 the best. They have an almost painterly quality and with the back light and the "reflections" you added a dream like atmosphere.

Ohhh yeah she looks great. Usually dancers, actors and performing artists are great models because they are comfortable with their bodies and have a good understand of it.

your shots are amazing as always dude. who chooses the poses? do you direct the model or does she lead on that?

No, i am almost complete improviser. Sometimes.i ask the model to stop and come back when i see something that looks really good but most of the time.the moment is gone and unrepeatable.

There are zillion of ways to do photography. You do not have to do it by the book. Even better, experiment, try, learn, improvise. But you already doing all this. Your work is great.
