An Asian bride

Joanna: Pokazuję wyniki gościnnej sesji z Jamiem Torrancem i Amną. Zdjęcia zrobiliśmy w przepięknych ogrodach Rousham, zaprojektowanych przez Williama Kenta, jednego z inicjatorów angielskiego stylu ogrodowego. Ogrody Rousham wykonane według jego projektu przetrwały w prawie niezmienionym stanie do dziś. Sesja jest zupełnie inna od tych prezentowanych do tej pory, wszystko dzięki Amnie, która pożyczyła mi swoje cudowne ubranie i namówiła na kolorowy makijaż. Naszym motywem przewodnim była "azjatycka panna młoda" - udało się nieźle, prawda?

Below is the outcome of Joanna's guest shoot with Jamie Torrance and Amna. Our theme was "Asian bride" - I daresay we got it right!

Trzecie zdjęcie wygrało w indyjskim konkursie Annyanny.

Where are you Joanna?

I don't know where Joanna's gone. I really don't, I've lost her somewhere. She hasn't been on g-mail chat for ages now and we haven't spoken for weeks. I'm sure she had told me she was going for a holiday or somewhere and in my mental clumsiness I forgot :-/ However, this gives me an opportunity to post some of my favourite pictures from our last session. They are very different to the sunny-Italian ones and they are all black and white, just how I like them. To be honest, Joanna asked me to prepare some of them in colour, but I'm very reluctant. B&W just suits the mood better and I don't think that adding colour will do anything good. It's just irrelevant. Probably I won't be able to assertively resist though and a few colour ones will appear in the future (posted by Joanna). Probably.

I was trying to emulate some of the old films (Tri-X, T-Max), hence the grain and all "imperfections" are left. I also played with filters to enhance and blunt various colour ranges.

It is really time to think of another session. Isn't it Joanna? As soon as I find you.
