Better Lovers pt. VIII | PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE | Trine Lasson

Once again, it's time for a postcard from Italy - and this is one of the last, since we're closing in on the finale! 🤩🇮🇹🙌🏻

These days monday = yet another visit back to Italy, while we unfold the full series of my latest shoot in Rome with Trine Lasson. 😁👌🏻 You hopefully already checked out the first part (which also contains links like below, for all the different parts) we dropped, or at least this black/white fishnet series we dropped last week. 🥵🔥

Here's a bit general info of what went on:

As most of you might already know, I headed to Rome, Italy with the lovely Trine Lasson for some days, to do you guys a new set of photos - just like we did last year in Lisbon, Portugal. 🥹🫶🏻
That ended as such a huge success I decided to repeat the concept and do one more around the sun, so to speak. 😉

The superb trip resulted in a new massive set of photos, divided into 9(!) seperate parts of photos and videos - all with different settings, post-process and overall vibe - which are set to be released once every monday from this day on! 😉🥂. 🤩🤌🏻

Just like last time I would like to give you a propper introduction to the series and what to expect, so below is a list of each part with some info:

• 💚🌅 PART I: A fine-vibed warmed toned lingerie set we did in the morning sun, focusing on Trines beautiful curves and a set of green transparrent lingerie. We focus on the use of shadows created by the sunlight coming in through the window. 🥹👌🏻

• 🤩🤍 PART II: With the use of only a white dress and a set of white blonde lingerie, we've created this mix of lingerie and a more classy look. To spice it up even more we headed to the pool at night, to do a few shots in the water with the dress on. 💦

• 👙🏝️ PART III: A classic 'bikini & pool'-shoot in brought daylight. 🤩 Trine is both in the water but also above, in three different sets of bikinis embracing her beautiful body as much as possible.

• 👀🚿 PART IV: This is a more artsy and special set! 👀 Everything was done in the evening, to give it a more sensual, moody and melancholic vibe - and the locations are in a bed & in the shower..

•  🔥🔞 PART V: We return to the pool, but this time around it's a nude shoot in natural daylight. ☺️

• 👗📷 PART VI: A street series on various locations we came across on our walk. To differ from our street shoot in Lisbon, we've implemented a few shots indoor and Trine is only wearing dresses this time around.

• 🖤🤍 PART VII: A black and white set of Trine only wearing a fishnet body on an indoor location. It's sensual, mysterious & fine combination of feel-good vs. seductive.

• 🥹🥂 PART VIII: (The one you're looking at right now!) The second nude shoot of the trip - this is completely different from the first one tho, since it's both indoor and much more saturated in the post-process, giving it a more pale look but still embracing Trines lovely body.

• 📹😏 PART IX: What do you get if you wait until night to do a short sensual video, only made to live by the laughs and beers you shared for the past couple of days - combined with the thought of doing a lit video in a POV-style seen from a mans perspective? 🤭🔥 THIS!

So, now that you know what treats you're up for (not including the lenghty 'Behind The Scenes' video from the trip, the lighten diagrams, Edit Challenges/RAW-files & post process-videos to be released!) , let me run you through some technical stuff about this particular shoot. 🤓

ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SHOOT..

This series is in fact the last 'photoshoot' and the last bounch of photos, we are going to release from the trip, since next week (and technically the finale!) is a video we made one evening and which we've decided to drop as the final part. 😁

It all started out one morning when I came in the living room at our location. The sunlight was so crisp, shining in through the window, that it created all sorts of shadows on the floor, furnitures etc.. I imediately snapped these photos of it, since I wanted to show it to Trine, however before I even got to, she came in as well and I shit you now, but my exact words to her was; "Don't move! Listen up: I'm gonna make you a coffee and while I do, you go back to the bathroom and make yourself ready - we're gonna do some nudes right here, right now! This light is PERFECT, Trine!!! 😂 Don't ask questions, just go gogogogogo. We might only have like 5-6 min if a cloud passes by. 👏🏻". 😂

Yea, luckily we know eachother quite well, so she didn't ask any questions, she just hurried back and got ready. 😁📸

(Above; These were the exact photos I snapped that morning the sun was perfect)

So, we did a whole bounch of shots and as you can see below, the originals turned out very well, however I thought it ended up a bit too 'yellow'-ish (which in fact isn't a bad thing in itself) - so it would end up looking a bit too much like most of the other stuff we've done on the trip. 😅
Therefore I went with a more experimental toning. A more pale one. A faded mat kind-of-thing, which I ended up liking so much. 🥹🫶🏻

Below is an example on before and after the toning.

(Above; As mentioned the original photo was beautiful as it is, however I wanted to differ a bit from the rest of the series we did on the trip, therefore I ended up heading in another direction as seen on the photo to the right)

We started out shooting in the livingroom but ended up in a bathtub, which we had plans on using anyway. The light conditions for this setting thou, was VERY challenging but the results was epic. In fact; it was so epic we ended up doing so many shots it was intended to turn out as an isolated standalone series. 😱

(Above; Just a minor selection of photos which didn't make it to the final cut and I didn't end up using. As mentioned, because this bathtub setting was so epic we talked about releasing it as a standalone series - but as we came back to Denmark and I began sorting the photos, I changed my mind and went with just a few of them + incorporated them into thos series. 🤓)

As mentioned before, the light conditions sucked big time at this corner of the house. I did quite some testing to get the mood right, in the post-process and below are a few examples of some of the tones I considered using, if it was to be released as a standalone series. ☺️

(Above; Changing the tone of a photo can change everything about the final vibe. It really don't require much adjusting etc to create some surreal looking stuff, or simply just tone down the intensitivity of a look. 😅)

Everything in this series was shot with the Canon R5 and the Canon 24-70 mm f./2.8 L USM III, at Av-mode & ISO 200 (ISO 2000 at the bathtub setting tho). 🤓

As always: Please feel free to ask away about whatever you want to know about this shoot! ☺️ Technical stuff, practical stuff, tips or tricks - or simply just let me know what you think. 🥳🙏🏻
