Update

Dear Patreons,

I have just updated subscription payment, so if you joined for example in the end of a month, you wont be immediately charged on the 1st of the next one.

Thank you for your support,
Mike

Lingerie boots and chains. Luckily Bianka helped me with her outfit for the shooting. My part was not to ruin it and make her look good.

Thank you for all the support.

Drop me a DM if you maybe wish to see some other model more often or want to learn something photography related.

Same Model, Carla, but there's a time gap between editing these images so you can see a difference between editing styles.

Ta sama modelka, Carla Sonre, robione w tym samym czasie, ale obrabiane w pewnym odstępie czasowym. Widać można różnice w stylu.

Echoes of the Past - Vol. 2

Photos are only as good as long as they stay in your best work portfolio and this first picture is still on my website (as I am writing this post- year is 2022 and photos were taken in 2020).

However now I see that these red fingernails are standing out too much and should've been changed to more adequate color.

Great model though....

This set of pictures are here to show you, how my beginnings looked like with female photography. These photos are far from ideal but I've always wanted to keep them soft and elegant. Before I started taking let's say - boudoir photos (although I now stay away from that term) I was making outdoor portraits, took pictures of my Kindle with covers...

When I deliver photos to models, I always export different versions. Full size, no censor / smaller files for web browsers / small IG size files with censorship.

Right now advisable aspect ratio is 4:5 1600 x 2000px but I guess it's about to change for 16:9 as...

Another part from the photoshoot with Angela. I hope you'll like it.

If I could tell the difference between my old photo shoots, and now - the main difference is the quantity of photographs that are good enough for editing. I mean there are even these that require minimum retouch and editing.

If it comes to picking the right one f...

Bianka Vol. 4 May

Take your time, think about the poses. Consider crop, surroundings, angle, leading lines etc. Maybe you are cutting model's feet or hands by accident? Look at the light and where shadow drops - maybe you can use it to create better vibe? Most of all - practice, practice, practice, experiment, improvise and make a ton of shitty photos.

Getting skin tones right was always pain in the ass for me, but I think I nailed it here. Try picking a good reference photo when you edit your images. For me, it was photos made by awesome photographer Nathan Chagall.

Bianka used to be a ballet dancer which showed during our photo shoot. When a model moves lightly, with grace it's a game changer for a photographer. Just makes it easier.
I believe that the best photographs of women are those which show them in an elegant, soft, confident and delicate way at the same time. Wrapped in a little bit...

Every time that I meet with a model for shooting and there is some nudity - I always make sure and ask model if she's comfortable with this or that. "Is this ok?" "Would you like to try that?" "How do you feel about that pose?". Hear what they say, but also read people and see how they act. Maybe they won't be comfortable, but they'll be say...

I hope that I will get better and better at what I do, so that I could teach others and ruin their life with pursuing photography. It never really ends. There is always something new that you can learn, use new techniques, have new ideas and so on. Gear costs a ton as well, so I appreciate your Patronage. Every little helps.

I would tell you that Instagram pushes forward posts that are videos and carousels, but if you have shadow ban for some reason, your reach is very limited. So the things that you upload better be good and entertaining so you get at least some organic impressions.

If you have multiple outfits, or if you are changing scenery a lot - it is advisable to split that photo shoot into smaller segments and post it in different times to avoid creating dissonance. It can kill the mood, vibe of your pictures if they will be too confusing for your viewer.
