Short session with Lana
I got a call from Lana yesterday, she asked me if I’d take a few photos of her. She is a model on the wedding fair, which is organised this weekend in the congress center of hotel Union. So I went there today with a couple of ideas in my mind, since I already shot a wedding there last summer and I knew which locations are cool to shoot at. When I got to the entrance, a stretch limo was parked there. Great, I immediately started thinking about how I could use the limo in the shots. Unfortunately the company’s representative that was showing their wedding dresses (and of the one that Lana was wearing) wasn’t to keen about the idea of taking the dress out, since it would get wet. I had no other choice than to “obey” her, since I wasn’t shooting for them. Otherwise I’d just ask if they wanted good photos or not. I’m sure they wouldn’t care about the dress anymore
. So I had to find another place to shoot. The exhibition halls were way too crammed to shot in and I couldn’t find an interesting location to shoot anyway. So we went to the adjacent hotel and shot on the staircase and in the elevator. I wish my reflector wasn’t stolen along with my Audi. I had to really improvise with my flashgun (it was to dark to shoot without it).
Here are a couple of shots. Make up by Tina. You probably know her better from this magazine cover.

Tina: jep, glede na pogoje je to to. Druga je tudi meni ql, prva pa pač neka standardna fotka. No make up je bil pa v nulo, nič šajnov itd.

škoda, ker si na prvi zgrešil kar precej fokus.. mi je pa dosti boljše obdelana kot druga. Se mi zdi da v taki situaciji bolj pašejo umirjeni kontrasti.. bela koža in bordo oblekca so čisto zadosti.. Popravil bi edino še diagonalo obeh zidov, da bi bli ravni..
sanjsko bi bilo si sposodit te oblekce in it malo na teren:P

Dragan: jep, ne vem kaj mi je bilo da sem to objavil - imam še eno praktično identično na kateri je fokus spot on. Sicer me je pa nenormalno grešil nekje tretjina fotk je bila iz fokusa, a velika večina samo malo, tako da nisem opazil med ostrenjem ali med pregledom na ekrančku. Imel sem sicer že par zgrešenih fotk na prejšnji poroki, sicer le par %, ampak sem takrat krivil Sigmo. Tokrat sem uporabljal 50ko in 85ko in je grešil tudi s tema. Čudno, v Pragi je bilo vse bp in tudi na enem sessionu prej in pač na vseh snapshotih, ki sem jih posnel. Zgleda je nekaj narobe s fotoaparatom, ker sicer po lastni krivdi zlepa ne zgrešim, max 1-2 fotki na session (in to govorim o pravih sessionih, kjer je posnetih veliko več fotk kot jih je bilo včeraj), ko se ti pač fokus zaklene na obrvi namesto na oči recimo…
Glede barv sem pa poskusil dve nasprotni varianti obdelave in ravno pri drugi mi nekako najbolje od vsega delujejo barve. Prva je pač klasika za množični okus (mislim na barve) s čimer ne moreš zgrešiti. Meni pa itak nikoli ni bilo v interesu delati fotke za množični okus. Tudi poravnal bi jih seveda lahko. A zakaj? Da bi bilo po pravilih? Ne me narobe razumet, da ti kao kontriram (marsikdo bo itak na to pomislil), le povem, da se se zavedam “napak” in da jih namerno nisem popravil.
Sicer pa tnx za mnenje in za izpostavljanje napak itd. Samo iz takih komentarjev lahko kaj koristnega ven potegneš

Hi! I have been periodically looking at your site for a while now, and I finally decided to say hi.
I love the first picture from above. The velvet red against her pale skin is beautiful.
Ok, I’ll be back later!
