Had a wonderful photo session with a young and talanted singer Ieva. It was -1 below zero Saturday morning, we arrived at the location made our main setup for the photo with the candle lamp, I think that I wanted to make that photo for about a year or so, and finally I got a great model and opportunity to make this stunning shot. We also made a few portrait shots as well.

Then we went to an old building in the center of Riga with a big window in the roof, which gave us great soft natural light but we also used some strobist stuff to achieve greater results in our photo session with Ieva.

Roman Lukjanenko from ChewedFilm made a great behind the scenes video of this photo shoot check it out as well.

On the weekend we decided to go to the town fair and make a small photo-session in Old Riga. I also wanted to make myself a challenge, to shoot only with my Tamron 90mm macro lens, because I use it very rarely and I really don’t like how long it takes to focus, sometimes it takes forever. But anyway it’s a pretty good portrait lens, with a beautiful bokeh on a shallow DOF, I like it more than my 50mm f1.8 lens. After spending some time with this lens I definitely got in touch with it and I decided not to sell it away. So lets move on to the photos we made that day.

The second photosession from last Sunday with my friend Jevgenija. I decided to make a session for my upcoming portfolio as a Forest Nymph. We were lucky to catch the last warm day in the month, had a 2 hour photo shoot and made some awesome shots.

One day after the work, me and my wife decided to go at the beach. Also I wanted to test ND filters and my skill in assisting myself while shooting. ND4 filter that I bought from eBay, was pretty good, just needed some white balance tweaking and you are ready to shoot some wide apertures in a sunny day.

About self assisting, well, I didn’t show good results for myself, my 120×90 reflector always was unstable and too big to handle. It was a little windy at the beach, so I couldn’t focus my reflector with one hand and take shots with another hand. But I’ve made some good shots after all.

So what did I learn from that session?
Assistant – Priceless : )))
