Brussels, BELGIUM

 

I've set up this shoot with my muse and favorite model Erika to explore a few new ideas. I do experiment when photographing clients but I can't go as far as I wish. That's why I need this kind of freewheeling improvisation shoots from time to time.

As usual it was great to have Ake around as an assistant. Frederik, a communications student, shot some making-of footage for us.

 

We started out with some shots in an open area of the forest to play around with that harsh sunlight. Most people don't look good in this kind of light, but you can just throw any kind of light at Erika and get a good pic.
