These are simply wonderful. There is so much detail to pore over, from the reflections in the wine glass that look like film to the man buttering his negatives. #2 is my favorite...so whimsical and cute without being the least bit cute-SY.
These are so great I am almost embarrassed to point out that the horizon looks a degree off or so.
I would definitely buy a print of this and hang it somewhere to spark lively discussion!
Bravo! Very clever and well done! Thanks for the morning laugh....I hope that was a cheaper lens you were balancing in your spoon!
I'm glad it made you smile!
And yes, it is a EF 50 MkII, which I think is the cheapest lens from Canon.
I couldn't risk getting hot sauce on an L-lens... (not that I have one.)

Haha, thank you so much for the kind words! #2 is our favorite also.
You are right, the horizon is a bit off (my tripod is damaged ), I noticed it too. I tried to straighten it, but then I would have to crop off a bit of the chairs. Hmm, I think I could find a way to do it if I play around with it a little longer.
The print is a good idea, we could hang it over our the table!
I'd crop a tiny bit off the right of the first shot and then straighten them all and you've got an amazing, wonderful series!!
Nicely executed!
Thank you so much!
Yes, I will try to straighten them out. I just didn't play around with them very long. I would never have tought that so many of you like this series so much! It makes me really glad!
I Love it Andreas!!! Fantastic series. I think the third one is my favorite, everytime I look at it, I seem to want to open my mouth to get a bite of that film too-Lol. Thanks for sharing!
Fascinating...
You have to share with us how you set this up... ultra long remote, or running back and forth setting the self timer? Or am I wrong in assuming that one of the people in the photo was also the photographer? :-)

In case you want to try it yourself, I can recommend a good Merlot that goes really well with the film. !!!

Yes, you are right! The lens-lover was the photographer.
The setup was easy. A simple white wall in the background, minimalistic styling and props, and window light from the left side.
The camera was set up on a tripod, with a single speedlight on top of it, bouncing from the ceiling. I wanted a simple, uniform light.
The camera was connected to a laptop placed next the tripod and turned around so that we could see the screen. I used a remote controller (hidden in my left hand) with 2 second delay to trigger the camera, and the image was displayed on the laptop instantly. So we always had feedback when we tried out different poses, without running back and forth.
But, ok, there was some running back and forth involved until I got this all to work. It was great fun!
I'm at odds with everyone who posted a response to these photos: I cannot really relate to them.
If these photographs were shot intended for "stock photography" than OK, they are technically very well done.
On another hand, if they were done as an artistic expression than they seem too clinical. If these images were to say "we live, breath and consume photography" than a more natural setting would probably carry a stronger message through.
Naturally everyone perceives art in their own unique way, thus I am not really criticising what you have done. I'm rather expressing my reaction to these images.
I love this, full of undertones. He wants what she's got and she wants what he's got. After all It is no fun playing with a lens with out a camera or vice versa wink

Hi Ted!
Thank you very much for commenting!
I understand what you mean. I never thought of it that way. It would be interessting to reshoot this the way you suggested and compare the results. I'm curious of what version I would prefer!
But somehow I see your more natural version before me... very interessting!
The minimalistic setting was intended, but that changed a bit during the session as we were having so much fun that we could not refrain from laughing. (compare #1 to the rest.)

, I just LOVE this interpretation!!!
Thank you for posting this, it is great!
Too bad that it is, technically, not 100% correct. The camera she is enjoying is a Hapo 66E, and old medium format rangefinder, with a built in 80mm lens.

Thank you! I don't know how I came up with this. I already had the idea a few month ago, but I thought it was too stupid until last week.
