Pastel body parts

Pastel body parts - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Peer Pape / 08.07.2025 14:06

Creating delicate body part photographs was more difficult than expected. Whether said body part is shot directly in the crop or the image is cropped in post-processing, it takes a certain eye to create the balance between too much and too little.

To get away from the monotonous black and white image, I decided to go for a pastel look. I think the delicate colors of light, almost pink skin and the light blue background go together perfectly. I also chose a round frame with occasional break-out elements so that the image section also matches what is shown, namely a human body, completely without sharp edges and hard corners.

I would like to leave it up to you to decide whether I have succeeded in this balancing act or not 🙂

Have you ever photographed body art and if so, how did you find the process?

I created this account as an experiment.

I have not used a camera

for over twenty years,

but use 3D CGI, for a few things.

One is to re-create, or re-interpret,

images that I found beautiful.

Four years ago,

I contacted Marta Gromova,

and informed her I wanted,

with her permission, to create in 3D,

a variation of one of her photoshoots,

https://www.instagram.com/p/CTrGg5IMM_n/

She liked the idea,

and the result was popular on Instagram.

So, now I choose this image

to open my portfolio,

even though it is not real photography.

It does use a camera,

or, camera shader, part of the

industry standard renderer,

I use, as are the lights.

The rendering engine allows me

to reproduce atmospheric lighting,

such as sun or moon,

exterior street lights,

and interior spot lights,

as well as from lamps,

candles and so on.

It also calculates the

colour, intensity, and angles,

of specular highlights,

shadows and reflections,

et cetera, perfectly.

The response to this,

here on STRKNG, is warming.

I am honoured,

that I am in the top ten

of trending photographers,

for this final week of June.

Thank you, STRKNG,

and all of you,

models and photographers,

for welcoming me.
