To make a portrait

How to take friends pictures on vacation

We met Stephanie and Clive Willbond-Hill in Crete last year. We share passion for the greek island and keep coming back.

Stephanie asked me if I could take her photo for her Linkedin profile. The answer was of course yes. I like to take pictures on assignments. Even on a holiday. I had to find time and location.

A perfect place to play a little with the light.

I like to find shade when there is a lot of sunshine. (and around 30 degrees) Both because I need it when I’m working, but also because I can better control the light.

Preparation

Peptalk with the model.

How are you today? This will be just fine!
What to wear, were to go.

Ok, we´ll start with the professional look:

We found a white wall. Perfect for a professional look.

Let the fun begin!

Stephanie and Clive has been traveling for a couple of years just not to forget that life is more than working nine to five. (Inspirational!) Since Clive is a freelance actor, he needed some updated pictures as well.

Some more results from the day.

“Show me your teeth!”

Clear commands!

It`s ok for the model to know what to do and where to stand or sit.

That Diana-look! ….. in the bow.

Its always nice to bring a change on a session like this.

Some pic are also perfect in black and white.

I even had my fiancé with me at this shoot, Ole K at the right. Good to have an assistant. And he did the behind-shoots. Thank you!
