01. Fujifilm X-T2 • XF 35mm • ISO 400 • 1/500 sec • f/1.4 It’s all about lines, shapes and curves. For the shot of Margaux on the left of this panel I draped her over the edge of the bed like water over a cascade.
This set of pictures is from a 1:1 shoot/ training session shot in a boutique hotel in Switzerland with one of my regular clients. Margaux did her own makeup and styling. I asked her to keep everything as plain and minimal as possible so that it would not detract from her natural look.
Model: Margaux Louise-Bacher
Camera: Fujifilm X-T2 prototype, XF23mm, XF35mm f/1.4, XF56mm and XF90mm lenses.
Lighting: Lupo 1000 LED spotlight with Scattergels
Post production: Fujifilm Acros simulation in Adobe Lightroom.
02. I like to keep the sessions fun and engaging. All the lighting in this set of pictures comes from a single Lupo 1000 LED spotlight with an ‘Alto’ Scattergel.
03. Messy hair, clean eyes and simply shot beauty.
04. Fujifilm X-T2 • XF 23mm • ISO 400 • 1/200 sec • f/1.6 I stood on a chair with my X-T2 and used my tilting screen to frame this shot of Margaux on the bed
05. Lighting on Margaux was from a Lupo 1000 with a ‘Crunch’ Scattergel. I closed the curtains quite a bit to increase the contrast for these bed shots.
06. The top shot is with the curtains open and the bottom shot is with the curtains closed. Both shots are lit with the Lupo 1000.
07. I love detail, shape and texture.
08. Inspired by the work of Helmut Newton but very much a Lovegrove.
09. A beautiful face shadow on Margaux’s arm was drawing me in for this close up.
10. Fujifilm X-T2 • XF 35mm • ISO 800 • 1/30 sec • f/1.4 using a monopod. Lighting here was from the bathroom window that came through the sliding door to glance across Margaux’s figure.
11. There is a gritty tension in Margaux’s look and that represents the moment so perfectly.
12. The spotlight was never meant to be in the shot but sometimes mistakes just work.
13. A scene from an art movie perhaps.
14. I’m always looking for a pattern. This time the sun came out for a few moments and cast stripy shadows from the net curtains.
