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: (The one you're looking at right now!) 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: 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
This series differs a little from the rest of the parts of the trip, due to the fact we shot it throughout the whole trip - and not on a specific time or so. โบ๏ธ In fact, some of the photos were the first we did on the whole trip and at the same time is photo #02 the last we did before heading home. ๐
When working like this, it's important to keep some sort of "DNA" in the photos and we went with the 'streets and casual dresses'-vibe, because it means that the sun will change quite a bit and so will the circumstance of how we could even do the photos. ๐๐๐ป
Some are shot in early morning sun, while some are done later in the evening.
Below are two examples showing how much the light could change so overall look:

(As seen above is the differnce in the 'warmth' we got, throughout the day. The photo on the left were done in the morning on a blue clear sky, giving us a super nice hard shadowed warm look - while the photo on the right were done just before we had dinner and the sun was nearly gone, resulting in a colder look.)
The photo on the right is not bad, that's not what I'm saying, I'm just stating the importance of keeping some sort of 'DNA' in the series - and with that in mind, this photo to the right is not good. ๐ It differs too much, even thou the pink dress Trine was wearing is the same as on one of the other photos we ended up with using.
So this whole setting of her laying down in the chair, did we end up not using. โบ๏ธ
Instead, we actually ended up using the exact same sun the exact same hour, but having Trine stand up and use it as a backdrop to highlight her hair, as shown below. ๐ค

(A photo illustrating where the focus was, when using the sun as a backlight, using it to highlight Trines hair and dress)
By doing this minor change of setting, we ended up with photos usable for the series eventhou it looks a bit 'cold', since we could fix that with raising the White Balance. ๐๐๐ปโ๏ธ
Other than that, there isn't that much to say about this series. ๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ We did it on various locations and as mentioned to begin with, it was done over a span of multiply hours / settings, which make it differ a bit from the rest of the series on the trip. โบ๏ธ
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
