Working with a model

Last weekend I had a great time at the Calumet workshop "Portrait and Model photography". Instructor Bert Meelberg did a great job on teaching us. We started with some theory about the use of studio lighting but most of the day was spent shooting a real life model (Dian Biemans). I must say that I am really pleased with the results.

Warrior Portraits

A few years ago I took a trip to Kenya and Tanzania. During this trip I had a chance to take some shots of Samburu Warriors in a town called Maralal. The Samburu are a tribe in the northern part a Kenya and are related to the Masai tribe.   It took some time to gain there confidence but after while the really started to pose like warriors. 

The images where shot on slide film and scanned with a Nikon slide scanner.


EDIT: The two little guys on the first slide were just tagging along all day, trying to get on film.
