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, 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. 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: (The one you're looking at right now!) 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: 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 part of the series what done right after we did the nudes which you will see in part V in two weeks, because the weather was top notch for it. ๐โ๏ธ๐๐ป But even so we did them right next to each other, they actually differ quite a lot in the look - but you will see.. ๐
The idea was simple: Let's create some classic bikini shots with the use of the pool and the natural sunlight coming in. Something which we at the time, haven't had the opportunity to create before. โบ๏ธ
Due to the bright direct light, I had to make use of my reflector on most of the photos - to reflect it on Trines body to brighten it up a bit - and even thou it was pretty warm and bright light, below is an example of how the original photo actually looked before getting toned. ๐
They were all shot at approx 7000K on the Canon R5, but afterwards I toned it even further to give it an even more 'southern feeling'. ๐ฅตโ๏ธ

(Above: The left side of this photo is how it looked before toning - and the right side is the original but with first batch of toning.)
In between the shooting of this set, we did a lot of fooling around in the pool and I went in as well (because of the temperature ๐ฅต๐) - and we had a blast trying to get Trine to float, which she apparently can't for some crazy reasons!? ๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
We shot a couple of short clips for some reels (like the first one which we used to announce the shoot and you might already have seen ๐), which some will release later on. โบ๏ธ
But as mentioned, we did tons of photos and as per usual most of them ended up not being used (which is totally normal, since you shoot like 20 photos to get 'that one you end up with' ๐), but as always I want to treat you guys on here with goodies left and right - so below are a few previews of some of the shots which didn't made it in the end.. ๐๐๐ป

(Above is a selection of photos which didn't made it to the final cut of the series. We shot so many, the light was intriguing and the time was right, but in the end it's all about "killing your darlings" so we end up with the most stunning final results as possible. ๐ )
I have no idea, but after we came home I found out I totally forgot to film BTS material on this set and I still can't figure out why!? ๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ As you will see in the lenghty video which are set to be released, it's mostly just "lol"-clips from this particular shoot, so please bare with us.. ๐ ๐คช๐๐ป
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
