 This is Jana Katrín, first photoshoot I have done with her, well I have photographed her before but only briefly so that didn´t really count. It was raining today and I got the idea to go out and shoot and since Jana pretty much lives next door I called her up on VERY short notice and asked her if she had anything better to do. Turns out she didn´t :)

Well despite we getting this photoshoot together in a REAL hurry, the rain had stopped once we got to the location so I used a water can to spray water on her, as you can see. The lighting fit but in terms of the rain, it wasn´t quite what I wanted, I would have wanted some heavy rain when we shot this to see some cool water droplets on her, the water behind her and a streak here and there mid-air. I might reshoot this to get that effect.

Henny did the makeup on this one and I only used ambient lighting for this + a silver reflector wich I held in my left hand. Again, I didn´t really shoot this with the challenge in mind but as far as I am concerned, this challenge is a free study with no landscapes and this sure as heck ain´t a landscape shot so...

As for post processing, very similar to the processing I did on my "Dirty pretty things" series, C1 raw conversion, then b/w conversion, lots of contrast added and sharpened + added border after resizing.

Bet the model was quite fetching before she turned into a zombie. I like the harsh treatment of (zombie thing aside) a beautiful subject. Interesting shot overall.

A very strong portrait. I like the expressions and pose of the model. A bit high contrast, but suits the mood of the picture.

Beautiful model + unique processing usually means Larus.

Another great shot. She looks like she wants to kick my a$$. 8

This looks very much like a Larus shot. If it isn't then very well done for a great portrait. If it is then very well done for another great portrait!
