Lyndall Jarvis – Black Tied
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on September 17th, 2009
This image is taken from a series of images shot for Pasella – where I was given exactly 20 minutes for hair and make-up (including liquid liner and false lashes.) I like this image because it’s clearly a portrait, yet one cannot make eye-contact with the model – which makes this image (compared to the others from this shoot) more powerful in my eyes. Lyndall had just received her title as FHM’s sexiest SA Woman for 2009 and I felt very privileged to have worked with her.
Looking Through the Window at Life
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on September 17th, 2009
This is one of Anton De Beer’s “Bridal Boudoir” photographs
“Looking though the window at life. You look amazing to me” is the title given to this photograph by the model, Kira Wilkinson. Kira and I shared a chalet whilst touring Jo-Burg with Madame Zingara and when she finally returned back from the UK I felt privileged to finally work with her on a test. I really love the ambiance of this photograph, the lighting, the reflections in the glass and the neutral colour palette. I hope to work with this team again soon!
My favorite of Rob’s experiment with cross polarized lighting
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on September 9th, 2009
Another colour extract from Robert Miller’s JemCat shoot.I think this might be my favorite. Robert had a very interesting lighting setup for this shoot. He placed Polarization filters over his beauty box in order to block out “hot spots” and experiment with cross polarized lighting.
Robert made the cat ears himself in order to get the spacing and direction and texture the way he wanted.
Here Kitty Kitty plays with a roll of Gaffa tape. Jemma is a fantastic model, she was relaxed, is naturally beautiful and played kitty-kitty with intoxicating conviction.
