I shot these in ’19 with Poppyseed on a rooftop terrace in Copenhagen.
We shot many different images, and I believe I had this on my old Instagram - for a day or two - before it was removed.
As you can see in the BTS movie, as always, we tried different ways of showcasing her unique flexibility until we a...

This is my first foray into shooting with a Ringflash.
If you go back to the post from Dec 31, 2024, you can read more about it, but for this set, I just received the flash a couple of days before my Shoot with Jitka V, and my fingers were itching to try it. I had planned to make this into B&W but ended up se...

Since I first saw La Geria, I’ve been fascinated with its austere, barren, and graphic look.
I did do one other shoot there, but it didn’t encapsulate my sense of the environment, so I never edited it..
La Geria in Lanzarote uses a very clever grape-growing method.
But frankly - however...

This is my favorite ambient light in the studio: Slightly diffused sunlight streams through my studio windows through an extra layer of Lee opal filter to soften a bit.
Easy does it, especially with an exceptional model who is an excellent poser.
ƒ6.3 1/320-1/400 sec

OK, perhaps not a complete fuck up, but we essentially shot in the wrong location.
The environment was less kind on the day we shot these.
Heavy wind and occasional rain showers, which equal a nude model getting cooled down fast.
That, again, means minimizing the amount of exposure and choosing your location...

On one of the truly last days of summer in the Nordics, I persuaded Loulou models to join me overnight on a mini trip to Kullaberg, a natural preserve two hours drive from Copenhagen.
I love this place.
It’s littered with rock faces and those of you who know Denmark will know that it’s the one thing that is sc...

I found this while making space on some hard drives and love the mood.
ƒ7.1 1/40 (and yeah, that’s me screwing up the speed and aperture. Using 1/80 ƒ5.6 would have avoided the slight camera shake yet still have given me plenty of depth of field).
At the same time, I remembered I had a couple of BTS from the...

Gentlemen and ladies
Welcome to 2025
Hopefully, everyone still has all fingers intact and is not too hung over after Yesterday.

And I can promise J...

Since it’s NEW YEAR, I found it suitable to have the model dressed up - at least initially 😉
One day, scouring eBay, I found an Alien Bees ABR800 Ringflash (with different accessories, such as a broader reflector, softener, and even a honeycomb.)
One thing I have learned about specialty light is that you mus...

A couple of extra shots from my first shoot with Cassie (CB.Modelling).
The light is a 57” Zeppeliner deep umbrella with a diffuser and a soft grid.
The soft grid eliminates much of the light coming out of the sides of the softbox, helping minimize the need to flag everything down, but I still do it to constrict t...
I love the walls of this building, and the light is not too shabby, either.
The only downside is that there is very little space to shoot, so it always has to be shot with wide-angle (around 24mm) , like these pictures of Georgia.
You can see I’m careful of always shooting from a lowish angle, but not too low s...

We were driving over a mountain (instead of taking the tunnel) near Soller, Majorca.
We were trying to find exciting locations with few people, and we did indeed.
Coming around a hairpin bend, I gleaned this gorgeous old Olive tree.

I know I have uncommonly many non-nude images this month, but don’t expect it to be a trend. 😅
This is Zulema in a tiny metal dress in Nevada, on Crazy Hill, named after the crazy colors.
Direct sunlight, and a lot of it: 1/2000 sec ƒ5.0

This is more of a funny story and a learning experience.
I was shooting with Zsan Of Sweden at Nimis in Kullaberg, and we wanted to finish the shoot by making a Shibari shoot.
My rule of thumb in this place is that we must be d...

Nat is showing off in the old control tower about an hour before sunset.
The light is magically soft, and a slight cloud cover diffuses the sun.
In the BTS movie, you can see the enormous difference between direct sun and whenever there is a cloud.
Shooting in daylight also means you need to have some exposure...

I’ve worked with Mynte several times, and I hope to get the chance again.
She is a self-declared exhibitionist, and while chatting before our first shoot, she told me and explained that she got excited by showing off.
I’m sure the sentiment fades over time, but she does radiate a significant degree of teasing ...

This is V Wild Art (Venus De Sierra), Goblin Goddess, and Clara René in Arizona, showcasing the body’s largest muscle, the Gluteous Maximus.
Frankly, it’s a bit of a weird image, but I also find it fascinating and can’t figure out why, which means it’s a keeper.
Whenever I wonder about an image, I spend t...

I have a weakness for models with a natural smile, and Minka has that in spades.
Nude women with a great smile could conquer the world.
The light here is simply daylight from two windows in my studio and a large flag on the opposite side to ensure some shadow definition.

This is an obscure corner in the old boiler room at the former airfield compound where my studio is.
I love having access to all the fantastic locations.
Anyway, this is Varvara climbing a ladder. Varvara does not have the longest legs in the world, so shooting from a low angle of view will make the legs seem longer...

The sweet Loulou models were photographed on location at Kullaberg in the low sun a couple of hours before sunset. Of course, putting her on a background of black rock doesn't hurt her overall look.
And in case you didn’t know, midsummer sunsets are very long in the Nordics.
This place is only 1100 km/750 miles ...

Here's a proper 10 min BTS of Regina. I had bought two small action cams (kind of like Go-Pro) to test if they were usable as BTS cameras. The conclusion is they were not, but hey, until you try... 🤷♂️
Anyway here it's pretty clear how the setup was done: A fringe curtain with the sun shining through.
