Hey Nadja,
Again this is a marvelous picture. You turned Daisy into a urban warrior, into a mystic lady (the one with the chess-pieces) and now into a bad girl. This to me has got the most attitude From her as a model. Also the way you bring out her eyes (with the extra light i suppose?) draws the full attention to them. Well done! I can't wait to see more! I really hope you and Daisy gets more good comments...

I did nothing special with the eyes.
It's pure the flash light because of the good position of the face.
Usually photographers work with reflection screens to put more light on the model from other sides than the light source.
Or they work with two or more lights.
I work with what I have, one flash.
And usually no assistants to hold the reflection screens.
That's not always easy to get light in the eyes.

We did good, for a still beginning portrait photographer and a beginning model.
People don't realise how difficult it is to pose for photos until they tried it themselves.
You have to think of every little bodypart and muscle!
That's very unnatural, we don't do that in daily life.
But she did really good.
Especially when you consider that the photographer is still a clumsy one...
Also with giving directions' to the models...
:-))
And especially since there was an audience, too.
That makes it harder to stay serious and get in the mood, of course.
I think with a next shoot it will be even better.
We will know eachother better, less stress from both sides.
:-))
Thank you very much, Rudy!
I am really happy that you like the photos.
And I hope Daisy likes them, too.
Because the background of a livingroom is a bit boring, I thought to use my imagination to try to put some more story in them.

I love the way you put the pictures together. It gives them more of an artistic figure than with a 'boring' and simple background. I don't know much of photography, but these pictures make me eager to learn more about it. And to me they look like out of the hand of a real professional. you got talent girl!!!

Nadja said...

Maybe you should come to the shoot next time.
I could give you some tips and tricks.
I will be happy to do that.
Thank you very much, Rudy!

Hey Nadja,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful pictures you made of me! I am really amazed how beautiful they are. Don't know how to thank you for getting me so far to do this and want to do more shoots with you on different locations. Also thanx anybody else for their positive comments. Hope i get more :-) ;-)... Love Daisy xxx

Nadja said...

Now I'm happy!
:-))
The most important thing to me is that the model likes the photos.
If not, I did a bad job.
You don't need to thank me, Daisy.
It was a pleasure!
I was still laughing and excited and energised when I got home.
And even now when I am working on the photos I'm still smiling.
:-))
And you gave me the chance to become more experienced.
I really need that.
Thank you very much, Daisy!
