Desert editorial with Melanie
Added 2022-03-20 08:00:03 +0000 UTCWe shot this editorial for a Magazine (printed edition) in a patch of desert we found in north germany. I added some images that didnt make it to the final set...
working with her, you can all imagine, is just a gift. Face, body language, how well she connects with the camera and the story making every image a memorable shot. We had around 12 degrees temperature, a little bit less than 30min before sundown, only used natural light (as always, i never have assistants and never place a reflector) and only a small bottle of water available that we used to give some texture to the hair, nothing else.
This is her, no make up, nearly no editing except some color grading and black and white conversion, as one more prove that she is one of the best models ever than can do commercial work for clients as well and work deeper images for a magazine commission.
as a side note, you will see that one of the pics in black and white has a bit different tone and shadow work.. it was edited a bit different because it made it to the magazine cover.
