Making of Jesus

Some behind the scenes photos from the Saturday's shoot. You are very welcome! ;)

Resurrection

I had the long anticipated Jesus-shoot yesterday, and it's been a while since I've laughed as much as last night. I was asked to do this shoot by Niina, who I'd met at the theatre (we're in a play together). She had had this concept in her mind for like a year, and she had a model already - only the photographer was missing. Well, she asked me, and I agreed to do it before I even knew what we were doing. Once I heard the concept I got even more exited. 

This was my first time shooting a male model, and now that I think of it, I don't know why I was so nervous beforehand. The Photoshop process was that much easier, as I didn't have to retouch his skin at all. And surely this "rugged look" suited this concept and model more than well compared to a super-smooth skin. 

I guess it's healthy to be a bit nervous about shooting a handsome model such as him, though. ;) 

We had an awesomely fun day altogether. It had been a while since I'd gotten to laugh that much in a day. I think we spent about 6-8 hours on this project. The make-up process took about 3-4 hours, if I remember correctly. I wasn't checking the watch that much...Anyways, the time flies when you're having fun in good company. :)

I went to a clydesdale and shire show today, and discovered that show photography is not my thing. But oh man, those animals are magnificent! Surprisingly I got a few ok shots, though.

I'm starting to wonder if you've lost your way

"I don't know who you are

Don't even know your name

I wish we could talk

but I don't have a number to call

So hold your hand out if you hear me

I've been searching but all that I found

Is everywhere that I go is standing alone in the crowd

And I need you now."
