It might not need any introduction, since you hopefully already checked out the first part we dropped last week, 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: (The one you're looking at right now!) 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: 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 of photos were shot over the spand of two days. On the first, we did the white lingerie on the bike and the next day we did the beautiful white see-through dress. โบ๏ธ
Everything was shot on the Canon R5 with a Canon mm 24-70 f./2.8 L USM III lens attached - all of them, except the ones at the pool, where shot in natural daylight.
We started out by using the beautiful bike available at the set, in various ways. The direct sunlight here was both a blessing and a curse, since it forced us to have her pose in specific ways, because we didn't want her to get completely blind due to the harsh light.. haha ๐โ๏ธ
In the video which will be released when all the photos are out, you will see how she struggled with posing in a casual and sexy way without getting the sun in her eyes.

(Above: Trine sitting pretty comfortable on the bike, with her head in the shadow only having her butt lit up by the direct sunlight)
As mentioned at the beginning of the post, we did this series over two days. The reason for this, was that we wanted to test if we could make use of some nice evening sun next to the pool (like the final photo #06) - and a couple of hours later, head back into the pool to make use of a flash.
Below is a photo from the 'Behind the scenes'-video which will drop later, on which you can see Trine standing next to the pool. At that moment we were planning on how to do, what ended up at photo #06 in this series. โบ๏ธ

(The direct evening sun creates some distinctive harsh shadows as you can see - which in fact ain't a bad thing, because they can be used in various creative ways - however for our purpose, it wasn't optimal. ๐ What we did was to turn Trine around and having her stand with her butt towards the sun, instead of her front as seen on the final photo.)
Later that same evening (after we did the shot next to the pool in the evening sun) after a few beers and a soccer match, we once again headed outside and INTO the pool this time! ๐๐ฅถ This was FREEZING, which you will be able to see on the behind the scenes video, but Trine was such a champ so it turned out perfectly in the end.
What I did was to mount the GODOX V1 PRO FLASH on the Canon R5 and stay on the ground, while having her in the pool. By doing so, I could create this specific 'flash fashion look', because of the angle and the use of a mounted flash at the camera.
Below you can see the difference the flash made, when flashing and and idle. ๐ค๐๐ป

(The flashes blinking constantly might have attracted some curious looks from the neighbors, but we never got to know.. ๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ)
That was more or less what I wanted to say for now - and it won't make sense for me to continuing blabbering, since you will get much more insights as the rest of content will drop. ๐ค
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
