Corona brought me to shooting selfs

Allgemein

Model Sebastian Löwe2020-08-13

When the Corona crisis hit Germany I was "in between flats".

Knowing when I needed to leave my current on, not having found a new one yet.

And when shit hits the fan it is great to have parents. So I moved to my parents for an undefined period of time.

Nice house, small town, no friends and the high discouragement to make new ones.

So what to do to keep me busy. Besides working, watching Netflix and spend time with my parents.

As I missed shootings quite much I eventually started doing selfies.

Since then, I am a bit hooked by it. Learning how to take photos and that with the easiest available model. Fortunately I am always around.

Now on my mission to get a proper camera as my phones images are nice – but just if I don’t want to crop or doing anything else with the pictures than putting them on instagram.

hello everyone,

this is my first blog entry, so i’m not quite sure how this will end, but i’ll try my best.

i’m vanessa, a hobby photographer from leipzig (germany) and besides that i’m studying social work in my last term.

in recent months i discovered a lot of bad things resulted by the pandemic, as there were feelings of sadness, lack of motivation, mood swings and overextension. i’m still not allowed to go to university, so instead i stayed those whole months completely alone in my flat. nowadays i see my friends more often, which makes me feel way more better than before and that’s why i fortunately began to photograph again. i went to the lake with my lovely friend leona, because it was really hot outside, so we decided to do a photoshooting afterwards and the results are awesome.

so i hope you enjoy these as well as we both did and maybe i’ll do another entry in nearest time.

till then and bye!

Fashion / Beauty

Photographer VisualNomad2020-08-12

What differentiates a fashion image from a movie still? The aspect ration for sure (2.35 : 1). The harsh light, partial lighting and the (facial and body) expression of the model. I love the movie-ish look and I strive for recreating it in my images. Last weekend, I had the chance to try that with beautiful, lovely model Anna from Sweden (https://www.missannasworld.com/). By far, I’m not where I want to get at. But it’s a tiny step into a direction I like…

Abstract

A walk through Lindau at Lake Constance.

I played with my Leica Monochrom and the Summilux-M 1:1.4/35mm to create an abstract mood. At Lindau there are a lot of sightseeing points like downtown, sailing port and DB harbor.

»lindauABSTRACT« is a project out of my serie »photographyABSTRACT«

I hope You like my Blog about Lindau.

Die Kombination aus den Vorschlägen von Claudy B. und Benja Boll-Teschner gefällt uns am besten.

Knipsen war gestern.

Wir zeigen Fotografie!

STRKNG

Der Slogan kann ein toller Anreiz sein, sich mit unserer Seite zu befassen. Er weckt die Neugierde zu wissen, worin der Unterschied zwischen Knipsen und Fotografieren im Einzelnen bestehen könnte. Er ist frech und anspruchsvoll gleichzeitig.

Die Vorliebe für einzigartige, außergewöhnliche und hochwertige Arbeiten schwingt mit und die grundsätzliche Einstellung zur Fotografie wird transportiert.
