dynamic walk

It was beginning of this week, that we discovered this amazing photo with great dynamic in Streetfashion MagZZine's Facebook group. We immediately contacted photographer Heiko Decker. And here we are to share the photo of model Denise Scheller with all of you. Heiko also provided some background info about this session:

"Denise and I know each other already for a few months and in total had three common sessions.
What I particularly value at Denise, is the easiness and humor, but also her absolute professionalism and focus during a session. Just joking and laughing, but as soon as the camera goes up, she is immediately in her pose or scene. In most cases, there are only a few shots required to get a great result with her. I don't have to tell you anything about her fantastic appearance cause this is obvious.

This specific picture was created during the photowalk in Würzburg (WüWalk). We arranged this together with other photographers and models and used the whole day all the corners of the city for different sets. Already at the beginning Denise and I had discussed, that we wanted to make something in the street and fashion style. When I discovered this alley, I quickly realized, what we could do here. As I already mentioned, Denise does not need many guidance. So the scene was briefly explained and then we started. However, some patience was necessary in order to have no passers-by in the picture.

Since I always try to work with as much aperture as possible, we had to make a few attempts to get the correct pose, the movement of the hair, position of the legs and arms as we wanted.

For the lighting I used a HSS capable plug-in flash with a 60 cm Softbox. The light came from the upper left and was triggered by remote control. My wife supported me. She ran along  with us in the same distance to ensure a perfect illumination. She also has some experience in this, as we do almost all the shootings together and she as an assistant and good soul is on the set." said Heiko about the session.

As equipment Heiko used his Canon EOS 5D Mk III with a Sigma Art 50mm / 1.4 lens and the following settings: f / 2.0, 1/1000 sec, ISO 200.

Thanks to both of you, Denise and Heiko, for sharing this fantastic photo with us here in Streetfashion MagZZine.

an actress in Rome

In this Editor’s Choice Streetfashion MagZZine presents an on-location shoot in Rome. The amazing photos of model Eleonora Puglia were taken by photographer Alessandro Rossi.
 
Eleonora according to Alessandro is an amazing professional dancer, actress, a very nice person, humble and a talented model. In case of this session Alessandro chose to portray Eleonora in her capacity as an actress, seeking her expressiveness and emphasizing her elegant personality. To reach this, Alessandro designed a ''film-style'' mood with two looks; The first one ''business woman'' and the second more elegant and evening like.
The first part of the shooting was shot outside a train station transformed into a gigantic mall and restaurant. The session took place in the time from afternoon until evening.
Alessandro decided to mainly use the red bricks on the outside as a background, very clean and not too distracting, searching for leading-lines and using longer focal lengths (from 135mm to 200mm) and a fast aperture (f/2.8) to create a strong blurred ''cinema-style'' background. He shot with a Canon 6D and 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II. For the lighting Alessandro used a Canon Speedlite 430 EXII, through a 120cm Octabox, wireless triggered by the YN-622C triggers.

The second part of the shooting took place inside the mall & restaurant. There Alessandro wanted to get a a more sensual and elegant look. He used the same set-up here for camera and lens; the lighting was also provided by a single Speedlite (Canon 430 EXII), but this time in a 90x60cm softbox and with a 1/4 CTO Gel for balance the ambient light (more tungsten-like).
 
Thanks to both of you, Alessandro and Eleonora for giving us the opportunity to showcase these amazing set her in Streetfashion MagZZine.

public places project

last week photographer Harry Wilcken posted some photos out of his last shoot with model Lindsey Duinmayer in Streetfashion MagZZine's Facebook group. We have seen the photos and immediately decided to show you some more photos as well as some background of this session.
Picture
For Harry Wilcken this session is a part of his project of street portrait photography, he is working on since summer 2016. The goal of these sessions is to put the models in emblematic / most visited / well-known places of the city and make some portraits. Sometimes Harry works with a Make up artist, but he likes the models to be who they are, wearing their own clothes doing their make up and hair, and posing natural.
Model Lindsey Duinmayer  according to Harry is a young, beautiful, funny, extroverted and easy-going person, even she doesn’t like to smile very often.  A really good model to work with, nice long legs & sexy look.

Harry is processing almost the same way for each and every model he works with:
  • Contact / invitation to be a part of the project
  • Send a copy of the contract
  • Ask for some photos of the outfits they want to wear for the session
  • Scouting (Harry goes to the city to see the actual situation of the streets to check for construction works or events in planning)
  • Selection of date, usually on a Saturday
  • With all the above information, Harry makes a plan and a route for the session.
They use 4, 5 and sometimes 6 locations and the model changes outfits constantly.
As mentioned above, Harry chooses 4 to 6 different locations (close to each other). He tries to use places people visit the most, places full of history and /or with architectural interest. Old and new, no distictions.

For the project Harry uses a Nikon D-810, one prime lens Nikon 85mm 1.8 (back-up camera = Nikon D-300 with a 50mm 1.4 lens) and works with available light plus two off–camera flash units (Nikon) on tripods. As light modifiers he uses 40x40 cm softbox, snoot, grid.
For the camera settings Harry mostly reads the ambient light of the background and add extra light to the model without TTL. Color chart check every time possible.
Harry knows well how his camera catches skin tones and what chromatic aberration the lens he uses has, so he doesn’t spend so much time making readings for “a perfect” white balance.
Picture
For the post processing Harry tries to avoid editing the images. Lens correction and white balances are mandatory. A small correction to highlights and shadows when necessary. For the rest, he leave the images as they were taken.
