Better Lovers pt. V | PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE | Trine Lasson

It's time for another postcard from Italy, don't you agree? 😏🇮🇹🙌🏻

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 the previous part we dropped last week which was a completely different setting than this weeks set, but nevertheless here's some minor info;

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: (The one you're looking at right now!) 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 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..

We did this part of the trip in the morning on our first morning on the trip. ☺️ The sun was great and we wanted to do early before the sun rotated in such way that the part of the pool we wanted to use for these photos, would be covered in shadows.

A good tip if you're planning future photoshoots, either on locations you know or locations you don't know; I highly advice you to go use sun-direction.com ! 😁☀️ It's incredibly easy and super straight forward.
I always use it when I know of a certain location I'm planned to be working on, to do as much prepping in advance as possible.

A disadvantage of shooting early in the morning though, is that the temperatures aren't all high - and when working with pools / the sea, you can only imagine the water being a bit cooler than later on the day.... 😂

Below is Trines reaction when she did the first dip of the day. 😆👌🏻

(Above; some stills from the 'Behind The Scenes'-video which will be released from the trip. Pay notice to Trines reaction to the morning temperatures of the water 😅🥶)

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 L. 🤓
Because of the time of the day and the combination of the very bright tiles (+ working as close to the green hedge) I didn't have to make use of the reflector, since Trine ended up being very smooth and beautifully brighten up, even on her right side which was away from the sun. ☺️

I've made up this little illustration on how it works:
The yellow lines are the sunrays coming in from the clear blue sky and doing hard light on Trines left side - but since the environment and rest of the location was so bright, it bounced all the light, creating this soothing and smooth fill light on her right side too. 👌🏻😁

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. 🥳🙏🏻
