Unchained.... rising from the depths of the wounded soul

This idea/concept/photo came to me in a second. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. And thanks to a good friend that helped me with the post processing (back then my skills in photoshop were a bit basic) it came out exactly like I wanted.
The photo I'm most proud of from my portfolio!!

This was taken in my bathtub, for lighting it I used 5 or 6 candles above my head and I used a white vail the ad more flow to the picture, my trusty Manfrotto tripod and Nikons trusty remote.

My contribution to Moody #PortraitTuesday theme

Enjoy!

Falling out of trees


Fall, fall out of trees
Into the street
All on my own
I finally found out how long I can hang on
I've got this all wrong
My heart is scared, my heart is gone
Now, looking around, there's no one here to hear my fall
White, white as a sheet
I saw a ghost, I think it was me
I've got to get out
out of this town
it's scary
Sometimes when I sleep
I miss my home, I miss my tree
And now it's up to them to carry me back up to the top
I've got this now
My legs are steady now
The angels warned me never to fall down

A friend

Is one that knows you and love you just the same!

Most of you know Cristina by now. She is my best friend, destiny made for us to meet in a trip to the heart of Romania to see Chicane in a concert. That 3 hours drive made us inseparable friends. It was meant to be like the sun is meant to give life. Here we are in another trip that we took together to my third photo exposition within ""The International Film, Diaporama and Photography Festival" "Toamna la Voronet 2010" We had two fabulous days and some great photos to remind us of that time when we'll be old and happy.
Miss you, love!

A friend to all is a friend to none. - Aristotle

Say Cheese

Pin-up Session

Model: Pamela
Make-up: Pamela
Hair: Aura ~ L&R Salon
Clothing: Seduction
Creative: Laura Balc
Location: Studioul
Lightning: two 400w Elinchrom softboxes on the right and left side of the model and one 1000w octobox in front of the model.

Pin-up is the idealized versions of what some thought a particularly beautiful or attractive woman should look like and became an instant hit back in the days.
Many pin-ups were photographs of celebrities who were considered sex symbols. One of the most popular early pin-up girls was Betty Grable. Her poster was ubiquitous in the lockers of G.I.’s during World War II.
