I KNEW that you could shoot in colour... see... it wasn't too bad!

I looked at the page..., love the story... such a beautiful model, the muted colour choice for the series is also pretty cool.

Did you chose that blueish tone or was that done by the editors?

What I like is also that the stray hair is all over the place... I have seen and heard so much criticism by photographers over "stray hair", that I myself have been getting paranoid about it.

Totally love that it adds to the image.

Oh... this apartment seems like pretty cool as location... and Montmartre... NICE!!!

Thanks Udor - the colours were my call. I was going to do it in B&W but after playing around in LR for a bit I decided that the bluish tones kind of worked with the light and mood better than B&W.

As for the hair, that was the stylist's call - and I like it too. I think that super-perfect hair works for some types of images but these were always intended to be casual and unposed, and after jumping around on the bed for a bit Klara's hair naturally fell out a little so we just left it like that for the rest of the set.

We also shot a load of B&W nudes for another magazine but that's not coming out until the New Year so I can't post any here just yet...

Yeah, your colour choice definitely looks great!

Nudes too... ey?!

I have never shot nudes (only with my 2nd ex- who was also a model, but I wasn't working in fashion then...
