For a while I had the idea to build my own set in the studio. Just from scratch to a believable living room, dining room or bedroom. The goal was to show that I can come up with and build a good set myself.
(In the time-lapse videos below, you can see me in action as I build.)
Next, I wanted to show that I control the light. Here’s the combination of flash and ambient light. After all, that’s the essence of photography. And as a third aspect, I wanted to demonstrate my skills in digital photo editing, by doing everything with only 1 model! So this woman is in the picture 4 times.
In these sessions I did have the advantage that it is nice to work with Malou, my model. She knew exactly where I wanted to go and immediately felt the poses well.
