There isn't much space in the studio. The model, myself, and the lights with their modifiers barely fit. We couldn't set up a "cozy" backdrop like a full-scale scene with physical props and

Princesses do exist, though you won’t see them walking down the street in the elaborate, voluminous gowns of the past. Such outfits aren't practical for daily life or for the heat of modern times. They

She isn't waiting for you to show up in some dark corner; she’s standing right in front of the front door. If a "strong" relationship is what you’re after, this might be exactly what greets you

That day will come, but we need to get a head start on social media posts and a few videos—whether to share at the party or for those famous Reels, without which nothing really gets noticed these days.

There are few flowers in the area where Flavia lives. Her parents managed to bring some sunflowers to the session, and they gathered wildflowers from a neglected planter, using them for various poses and

A dim light in the background, another slightly stronger one to outline the figure, and a main light shining through an opening. I experimented with that snoot, and I’m happy with the result. Had I used

There are few spaces left to explore in the house. We aren't in the mood to move furniture around, so it’s better to look for settings that are already there. Dyana walks to the kitchen entrance and strikes

They are all afraid to climb onto the wall. Below, the water crashes against the sharp rocks with a patience born of millennia, and that is why the girls are afraid to climb up and stand with their backs

She belongs to the legion of those who do not smile. It is as if the Mona Lisa had infected the entire current generation, making it difficult to elicit anything beyond that impassive set of the lips.

She is a recent ophthalmology graduate who also aspires to be a professional model. She has already walked several runways in the city but dreams of making it big, like every other model I’ve met. And

Ladies do not sit on rough walls. Their delicate bodies should touch nothing but silk and fine linen. If there is texture, let it be that of tiny diamonds or the links of a delicate gold-and-pearl chain.

I prefer dramatic lighting, the kind where the light enters almost from the side, casting the subjects in partial shadow and heightening the contrast. I took two shots for each different flash position

After so much wandering about, she has no idea where her four lucky paws have gone. It is true that there are no herbs left on the kitchen counter. Tiny, distinctive, and incriminating tracks reveal the

I had to give it a try. I’ve been watching the AdoramaTV YouTube channel for a long time, so I decided to try something similar to what Gavin Hoey has demonstrated, where a model stands against a wall

In a corner of the studio sat this old speaker. It is rarely heard during sessions anymore. Other Bluetooth devices have taken its place; different music has played during its forced retirement and its

When I finish a photo session, I already know what I’m going to post on Hive. It’s easy. The final product is right there, ready to go. Sometimes the photos are published raw—without skin retouching or

Several young women stopped to pose at the entrance to the mansion's courtyard. I imagine the owner or the staff watched with a mix of interest and wariness via security cameras as strangers touched the

Amaury has a bright future ahead of him in the modeling world. Truly, all the guys who step in front of my lens possess a great deal of self-confidence. Each one is, of course, a world unto himself, but

I framed her tightly twice. Neither of us even noticed. There were so many models, so many photographers. Here, I placed her in a wide doorway, facing the scorching sun. But she is spectacular; I just

I often play deep house mixes for inspiration when writing the brief captions for the photos I post on this blog. Right now, a track is playing that repeats "golden frequency" in the chorus,
