Howdy friends!
As some of you might know, I had a photoshoot with my colleague Sofia last week. It was her "firts time" so to speak, and she really enjoyed it and so did I, needless to say. Today, she begun her six months travel, she'll be stopping by at Australia and Borneo (among many places!) I'm not jealous! Not at all!!! :wink *Haha* Sure!

Anyway, enjoying it so much, she asked me if we could meet up and snap a few more pics before she'll hit the road (and air and sea) today. Sure, why not! So I picked her up and drove her to the central station, and we stoped a little here, a little there on the way and took a few pictures.

Here is a few samples! Just wanted to share!

Regards / Matty

Hehe! Like this one! The sign says "Finsingel". If you split up the words, it would read "fin singel" and that would be the same as "A fine single" in English! Haha! Well, that's just what she is! :D

Occationally, Sofia can express other things than happy or very happy! But you'll need to be very quick with your cam to frame it
:rofl

    I like her dramatic eye make-up. She's beautiful and you do a beautiful job photographing her. :)

    Thanx! It's a pitty - we've been colleagues for a few years, and we've been casually talking about having photosessions toghether some day, but we never did, until now, when she's going away for 6 months. Well well, she is comming back. I think she's a great model, beautiful, fun and full of energy.

    the high-key portrait is nicely done ; good job! thumb.gif

    The other portraits I like less, though they're quite nice, too.
    have a quick look at my portfolio (there's a photolog, too) :: (11-07-2006) experiencing a new flash portfolio. What do you think?

    Thanx Eric! Ok, lemme see... something like this: I shot it RAW. I pushed the exposure as far to the right I could without blowing the highlights. Then in ACR I pulled the "intensity"-slider to 100% and pushed the "exposure" as far as I could without blowing all the detail in her skin. I set the shadows to approx. 2-3 and increased the contrast quite some. Then I reduced the saturation to approx -20. In photoshop I did the "regular things" and then gently went over the shadow areas using the burn tool, set to 6% with a soft brush. Yepp, something like that....

    Here is another one:

    the first three are my favorites, she's really beautiful. great job using the light.

    i like the use of the sweater, very cute. i'm not a huge fan of the high key shots.
