I have been fortunate to have been studying few most inspiring portrait photographers in the world, who's works have truly made me try, practise and get better in my art.
For a very long time I was in search of my own style. I felt it, I sensed it, it made my heart jump, but I wouldn't understand what exactly made me feel that way. To figure it out I started to analyse the portraits I loved in details! They are connected, relaxed, feminine and glamorous. It is the connection that the photographer creates with the model, it is the feminine side that is shown and women are normally shy to admit it, it is pure beauty that photographer captures. And the colours. Soft, pastel shades of the colour-wheel pleases the eye and spreads the tranquil mood. I call it fine art!
As I travelled around Europe and had the absolute luck to work with this woman, here is what I learnt. Get to know the person you are going to work with. I mean, don't take your camera out until you spent some time with the "model". Have some coffee and chat (that's what women do BEST, right?). As a photographer it is crucial to know what type of person you are going to spend next two to three hours with. They need to trust you as much as you need to trust them.
I have been very lucky with this lady. Not only she was relaxed and willing to be directed/ posed by me, she also was the most feminine woman I have photographed yet.
Although it was 33°C in Sapin when we were shooting, it didn't stop my model from being natural and relaxed. Fine, sensual, graceful. This is how I would describe this woman. I feel honoured to have had the chance to work with her. Thank you.
Happy Monday everyone
