lots of thanks to the owner of the place, and to my model of course.
sometimes all falls into place and beauty is the result of it.
Model and make up: Eva Evian
styling and photography: Ludwig Desmet

thank you for watching,

Often I try to find out what drives the women to come over to my studio and do a shoot with me. This helps me to decide what kind of shoot they want, what kind of images they would like to go home with.
C. told me “I like beautiful photography, it might be a little vanity, or that ‘little twist’ of mine, the will to pass the boundaries of conformity, … I expect to see myself different than what the mirror, or my mindset want to make me believe.”
after she received the images, the message I got back:
Waauw, what a nice surprise. Thank you for these wonderful images. Sure you may publish them on your blog, they are fantastic.
thank you for watching,
ludwig
She hesitated to agree with publishing this image, but she did. Thank you Jane. It was a pleasure to work with you, and you expressed gratitude to what we achieved together. I’m glad I could bring you confidence.
Jane, my body is my temple …

Sir,
Could you please do a shoot with me?
Sure Ma’m. The honour is mine.

thoughtful, spontaneous, fun, serious, wondering, open minded, …
… Jenn told me she didn’t fit too well on images. That was until she saw the results of our shoot.
“the end result really is ‘WAW’, so you were right that being a good model is linked to the qualities of the photographer … whenever you have a location again I’d be most pleased to be your model again.”
I think I’m flattered. 😎
Same setup as the color version of this shoot. Only this time developed in a black and white version.
I Hope you like the images.
Come back again soon, to see the results of my next shoot. I promise now already they’ll be fantastic. (that’s because I’ve seen them already :p )
All the best, thank you for stopping by.
Never hesitate to leave a reaction.
ludwig
