Let's kick off the beginning of the end, of the danish summer, with a bang of a new PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE with a beauty you've met ones before here on the channel.. π₯Ήππ»
Louise is back - and she is embracing life by it's fullest in this new semi-conceptual nude shoot I've done with her!! π₯³ππ»π₯π€
So, since our first shoot together she's been one big smile, texting me now and then with words of how much love she received and what it did to her. π₯Ήπ«Άπ» We've talked back and forth and early 2024, we agreed on meeting up once again when the summer arrived - and so we did.. πβοΈ
So, we met up near Vig, Denmark to have a walk in the beautiful weather and nature, with Louise being all nude, only wearing a white stripe of paint on her side. ππ¨ It's obvious that when doing photos like these, it's a good idea to bring some warm clothing for both the model and the photographer to keep and average temperature while working - and even thou it was indeed a lovely summer day here in Denmark, it wasn't thaaaaat warm (like around 16-17 degrees Celsius I think π )

(Louise brought a huge warm jacket for her to wear upon arrival and while moving from location to another location)
I originally had the idea of making this series in black and white, and post-process it in a way her skin would turn deep dark and keep the white stripe close to all white - and I didn't erase that idea of my mind; That's why there will be released a second part next week! πππ»
The white paint we used was just a normal JOTUN something-something. π Nothing fancy, but just something which we made sure wasn't either toxic or dangerous to get on the skin. βΊοΈππ» Safety first, you know! π

(For this shoot, I brought my traditional backpack with the trusty Canon R5 and mainly with the Canon 70-200 f./2.8 L USM III lens attached. This time around thou, I brought some paint and a brush for me to paint Louise βΊοΈ)
So, as you might already can conclude, I had to crank up the 'White Balance' and do a little nudging to make it visually feel like summer on the final results. π
Well, it was indeed summer and it was "ok" for Louise, but because we were up in the heights and working on hills, it tend to be a bit chilly due to the wind.

(Louise getting closer and closer to a herd of cows, because I wanted to incorporate them into some of the photos.. π We actually managed to get pretty close to them but walked a bit back again to do the final photos)
After a few hours of chill, walk and shooting we had plenty of photos of decided to call it a wrap. π₯Ήππ»
As mention earlier there will be released a second part of this series next week, all in black and white, with some sort of the same vibe but at the same time very different actually! π€© So stay tuned for that!
As always: Please feel free to ask away about whatever you want to know about this shoot! βΊοΈ Technical stuff, practical stuff, tips or tricks - or simply just let me know what you think. π₯³ππ»
