Well, this one is another already old photoshoot, taken in February in Timișoara, outdoors, at a damn freezing low temperature. It´s a collection preview for romanian designer Andreea Borcea, featuring a beautiful delicate black & gold body dress.

All the praises should go to the beautiful and courageous model, Alina, who successfully resisted a whole hour almost naked at less than 0°C, in snow. We did recovered ourselves afterwards with large mugs of hot delicious tea. 😉

Why did I insist to hold the photoshoot in this awful conditions? Well, I basically looked after the contrast between the delicate thin dress and the harsh surroundings, somehow like the contrast between the first snowdrop and the snow itself. It was hard to concentrate, though, as I hate it when my models don’t feel at their best and Alina was obviously feeling really cold, even started shivering by the end of the session. I did my best to take the photos I wanted as fast as possible (hopefully I succeeded) and I hope she still wants to be my model in the upcoming future ^_^

Also, this was my second experiment with the mirror prism and I think it went better than the first time, because being in an outdoor location I had more possibilities to reflect interesting stuff and there were no unwanted objects to enter my framing. Damn it, now I miss that mirror prism…

Long story short, enjoy the images and don’t forget to take a look below at the credits and show those people some love! ♥

 

  

And these ones below were taken afterwards (notice the cosy sweater), just because she’s such a  natural beauty and the make-up complemented her so well ^_^

I’ve been looking forward to write about this photoshoot since January, when I took it, but life has become so chaotic for me since arriving in Sevilla, that I still can’t properly organize myself and get carried away by a lot of random things, some fun and memorable while others useless and time-wasting. Oh well, hopefully I will eventually learn how to successfully manage my time – that would be the most valuable lesson I could learn while I’m here.

I do have a long list of blog posts that are waiting to be written – some are of photoshoots, some of random stuff, some of my life in my new home away from home. It’s just that when I’m not close to my laptop I have the best writing ideas and when I finally get home and have some time to sit down and conceive a readable article, all my ideas and writing mood have gone away. Damn, I do need to learn to motivate myself! Anyone has some tips worth trying?

Anyway, let’s move on to today’s story. So this is a photoshoot I took for romanian designer Sofia Afrenie, as a preview for her SS 2014 Allure collection (which you can fully admire now on her facebook page). I have to confess I love her latest creations and I’m dieing to go home and shoot some more of them (hehehe).

All of the images were shot at her studio workspace, only with natural light (that room does have some amazing lighting!) and I was very happy of how they turned out (good job, dear old Canon 450D! I will certainly shed a tear when I’ll change you for one of your better brothers).

As in terms of post-processing, I had quite a lot to work with the background, as I felt that the colour of the walls didn’t match the whole scene (they were yellowish). I’m thinking of showing you a before and after one of these days (which would mean probably in a month or even more).

Enough talking, I’ll let you enjoy the images and.. hope you like them as much as I do! Don’t forget to check out below all the credits for this photoshoot and go show those creative people some love! ^_^
