Winter Shoot part V: Winterlight

This week we are coming to the end of last month's photo shoot, with the lovely Alexandra Sohin. Not only is she quite stunning, but also knows her way in front of a camera. This makes things very easy when taking pictures, but it also makes it hard because you end up with tons of good images and some very hard decisions to make. 

Finally I have managed to select the best, and edit still quite a few images. Indeed I have been saving the best for last in this set of posts. Enjoy!

Winter Shoot part IV: Double Trouble

Today we have twice the fun! a double decker sandwich of modeliscious images. It was pretty hard to narrow down around 150 images to just these 20, which is, in itself, quite a lot. But considering we have two models for you today, we can make it work (hopefully with less talking and more picture presenting). 

Models: The beautiful Sarit Elisha and Yarden Shoval

Make up for Sarit: Lemlem Mesfn.

Winter Shoot part III: January Blues

I know what you're all thinking. What else have I got to say about this? Well, not much to say really, but lots of pics for you. 

This is Or, and once again I had enough material to give her her own stage. Since I got to work with her for a few minutes at different times during the photoshoot I got several different lighting conditions which help mix it up. Not so much the consistent look as far as editing goes, but a few of the now familiar 'winter blues' color themed photos are in the mix (at some point it became too hard to flash out the sun with my SB600 so I moved to natural colors).

Winter Shoot, part II: Electric

As promised, part II of the winter photoshoot. This time I have some more cool pictures... As in - cooled down white balance and flash gelled orange to compensate. 

This is Tal, our model for today. It takes an aweful lot of confidence to be a model, it seems to me. Especially a male model. You have to look confident. Anyway, some blue 'winter atmosphere 'shots after the jump, as well as some natural color ones. Also (in case you were worried) some guest appearances by female models, and a bonus: a short break down of the editing process for one of the images from the shoot.

Winter Shoot, part I: Porcelain

Exciting new photos, by the hundreds! Last week I went on another photoshoot organized by a photography facebook group. This time the theme was 'winter', and the fashion was indeed fitting for the occasion.

I had come to this shoot with a few new techniques I wanted to try (a taste of which, after the jump). I also intended to take less photos and put more effort into getting a few good ones instead of the bulk I usually get. That didn't really work, particularly since other photographers were constantly mixing it up and I could only barely keep up...

Like last time I want to give some of the models from the photoshoot their own space, and so I will upload a collection for each individual model, with a theme or at least a partially consistent feel.

This week I have the pleasure of presenting Alina, which is both beautiful and talented as a model. Personally, I think they have made an amazing job with hair and makeup, but judge for yourselves.

Thanks to the organizers: Oleg Luft, Chen Rachel Smadja, and Sshimrit Israel.

Road Trip

It were a crazy couple of weeks. Lots of work to be done (I actually need to do some research at some point) as well as finishing up with the wintershoot took so much effort from me.

I happened to be travelling by buses a few weeks ago and just now I had the time to edit these images. Hopefully in a week or two I will be through with the backlog of images and be ready for new projects...
