[Photo] Roost preview part 2 - druidess1982 and Nikolai

[karohemd]

I was actually a bit nervous to work with druidess1982 because she's a highly experienced and professional model but we immediately got on well and bounced ideas off each other. I felt really comfortable and confident working with both of them (I took some solo shots of her partner while she got ready and then took a series of couple shots) which I think shows up in the results. We are all very pleased with the results and I can't wait to go through everything we did. The following is just a little glimpse.
All shot with available natural light at The Roost.

Very cool!

Also quite creepy, particularly the seventh shot with the fish-eye effect.

The lighting in that first portrait of Nikolai is lovely. The touch of light on the arm gives a good sense of depth without drawing my eye away from his face.

Thank you!
Nikolai's solo shots were taken at that leaded window. I really liked the dappled sunlight effect as well.

crazy to think that Nikolai has never been in front of a camera before... and his first set was in the buff with me - talk about taking the plunge into modelling ;) Excellent work - I agree this is some of your best stuff I've seen - very creative.

Indeed, he's a natural, not just the posing but also having ideas that worked really well. :o)
Thank you very much! It really was creative teamwork. I'd pick a spot and suggest a rough setup and they would just go for it and come up with their own ideas. I only had to frame the shots and possibly adjust their poses a little so the light was right.
I'm particularly proud of my glass coffin idea. :o)

Jesus, I forgot how skinny Nemi Dawn was round the waste.

Nice set. The thing is I've seen piccies in the past of her just posing with Chel and her eyes were not happy then. She's showing acts of being 'bullied' in these images yet seems totally relaxed with the subject.

Nicolai is obviously good for her :)

LOL, I get the Nemi comparison, at least visually. ;o)

*nods* They were absolutely wonderful together. Really confident and comfortable.

Really cool. They are fab models and she is quite stunningly beautiful.

I've really liked the male model stuff you've done recently, are you likely to do more in the future?

Thank you! Dawn is awesome. Have a look at gothindulgence's recent entry.

When I get the opportunity to shoot men, certainly. I really enjoyed working with demondaz and nevla and, of course, your man as well. If they are interested, I'm interested.

Excellent :)
