These days monday = yet another visit back to Italy, while we unfold the full series of my latest shoot in Rome with Trine Lasson. ๐๐๐ป You hopefully already checked out the first part (which also contains links like below, for all the different parts) we dropped, or at least the beautiful nude set we dropped last week. ๐ฅต๐ฅ
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. ๐ฅน๐ซถ๐ป
That ended as such a huge success I decided to repeat the concept and do one more around the sun, so to speak. ๐
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! ๐๐ฅ. ๐คฉ๐ค๐ป
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:
๐๐ 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. ๐ฅน๐๐ป
๐คฉ๐ค 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. ๐ฆ
๐๐๏ธ PART III: A classic 'bikini & pool'-shoot in brought daylight. ๐คฉ Trine is both in the water but also above, in three different sets of bikinis embracing her beautiful body as much as possible.
๐๐ฟ PART IV: This is a more artsy and special set! ๐ 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..
๐ฅ๐ PART V: We return to the pool, but this time around it's a nude shoot in natural daylight. โบ๏ธ
๐๐ท 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.
๐ค๐ค PART VII: (The one you're looking at right now!) 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.
๐ฅน๐ฅ PART VIII: 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.
๐น๐ 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? ๐คญ๐ฅ 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. ๐ค
As you hopefully already noticed, this is the first (and only!) black/white series from the trip. ๐ The reason is that we wanted to create a full series with only use of a fishnet bodysuit Trine brought along - and to do so and achieve an exciting look which could work a series of photos shot at the similar location, we went with black and white. โบ๏ธ
By converting it to black/white and add some grain, we achieved a bit of an analogue and raw vibe to it.


(Above is a comparison of how the original photo looked and how it got more 'depth to it' by converting it to black & white. I went with a slightly contrast heavy conversion to emphasize it even more)
I will like to take two minutes to talk about photo #01 & #06, since these differ from the rest, due to the fact they aren't actually shot directly at Trine. ๐ค
These, I shot through a mirror, reflecting her. I was aiming at her through the mirror, to give the overall photo a 'vibe' and to unsharpen it a little bit PLUS adding some mysterious vibe to it, with the blurred border etc. ๐
Beneath you will find three photos showing the difference in the look, when varying the focal length. Notice how I kept it at f./2.8 but only zoomed in and out, to diffuse the border of the mirror more or less - and aditionally, notice how little I actually change but how much of a difference it does. ๐
๐
This is all stuff I do on the fly by trial and error - since it's all just stuff that pops up to me on set and things I can't plan ahead, due to the size of the location etc. โบ๏ธ

(Above is an example on how much of a difference changing the focal length just tiny bits, can do. ๐ I ended up mostly using the 70 mm by the way)
I shot everything on the Canon R5 and all photos in this part is shot with the Canon 24-70 mm f./2.8 L USM III, at Av-mode & ISO 200. ๐ค
That's it for now!! Hope you like this setting as well - and see you next week where the whole trip slowly is coming to an end, with the 8th of 9th series and this is somehow related to what you just saw, in terms of setting, however at the same time it has a whole other vibe to it... ๐๐ฅ
As always: Please feel free to ask away about whatever you want to know about this shoot! โบ๏ธ Technical stuff, practical stuff, tips or tricks - or simply just let me know what you think. ๐ฅณ๐๐ป
