ZANDRA in Paris and more ...

Zandra Idenius was a guest in my home studio last week. Got the opportunity to use some of my background images I took in Paris last August. Here is a before and after, on one of them.

Here is a cropped version of the same image.

here is Zandra on the Alexander bridge in Paris.

And here is a more "normal" surrounding.

Old film ...

Click on images to view them in a larger format.

... I was thinkng this as a start of an old movie. Without seeing what caused this situation its hard to know if it was self defence or a cold blooded murder.

I then added some images to get some movement in time without clearing up what caused the resulting scene.

Grazyna in Hollywood

My old alter ego, mr Lutz ( www.lutzimages.com ) This time I had a visit from Grazyna and MUA Ljudmila Zulfiyeva. As usual I used my old cheap china strobes.

Split visions and body ..

I was having a cup of coffee with my friend Orthae ( a fakir, sword swallower and photographer and .... ). The lower end of his body suddenly got upset and refused to participate in any further coordinated movements.

With our combined efforts, we could make him whole again though.

Some baroque images with Lorena ...

I had a and photoshop meeting with lorena and we also took some images. I wanted some more baroque looking images, but we did not have any makeup, so I had to add that in post. A wig and a dress,was found though, in my closet.



We also did a glamour portrait.

Hans Caldaras - old time portrait

Hans Caldaras came for a short visit, so I took this as an opportunity to test my new background, a roller blind that I put some paint on. I have been thinking about having a simple portrait background, so I can make portraits fast, wihtout extracting people using bluescreen.

Image above was supposed to look like a publicity photo from the 40s.

Amina and backdrops ...

Amina and have shot some sessions for a project I have. I always end up with some additional images, that were made to test something, like some of these, where I experiment with different backdrops in post. I have also tried, for the first time =), to shoot with real backdrops. I am trying to make them myself, to look old and nice, nut it is a ot harder ( at least for me ) than I thought.

Here are some mixed images with Amina.







... and here is a strange one =) ...
