Probably the best nude photographer in the world: Marc Collins from Berlin

Marc

To me he is one of the best nude photographer's in the world. What makes
me think so? I know many of the models he worked with and it is just
amazing to see his output. Especially his point of view is so amazing,
you really have to check out Marc Collin's website:

Fall/Winter 2010-2011 YvesSaintLaurent Campaign Video: Super slow motion and cool cut

Yves Saint Laurent introduces its Fall/Winter 2010-2011 Campaign Video,
filmed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin under the creative
direction of Stefano Pilati and featuring Daria Werbowy.

I really love the super slow motion and the exciting cuts inbetween.

First result from my Phase One testdrive: Schneider Kreuznach lens is amazing

Here is a quick example picture which shows the quality of the lens and
the digital Phase One back.

Left is the original image, right a crop of the same image with just one
eye. Click the photo to see it in large.

The photos are untouched completely.

If you look careful enough, you can even see a reflection of me in the eye.

Klaus_stiegemeyer_photographer

Photographer Timothy Barnes shot the new series for "Valisere" at a
gorgeous Finka in Majorca. Stylist Claudia Scholtan compiled the lacy
looks.

I guess, it is obvious that I really admire Timothy Barnes' work. Superb
stuff.

Testdriving a PHASE ONE 645DF with P40+ digital back: Is this a camera for me?

I currently have a medium format camera here for testing purposes. It is
a PHASE ONE 645DF with P40+ digital back and several Schneider Kreuznach
lenses.

No doubt, it is a great camera. Now, I need to find out it is a camera
that suits my personal needs. For example I never shoot from tripod and
I am usually shooting under difficult light conditions (as the setup
light for my flashes is not nearly as light as the final flash output).

Especially the autofocus is something I really need to testdrive.
Tomorrow I have the shooting for my December 2011 calendar sheet and
we'll see how I get along with the camera.

Enclosed are three photos. Two of them were shot with my Canon EOS 1ds
MKIII with my 85mm L lens at 1.2. The other backshot comes from the
PHASE ONE camera with a Schneider Kreuznach 80mm at 2.8.

P.S. I already like Capture One. The workflow looks alright.

Valisere lingerie photo show by FTV

Nothing special, but the photos are gorgeous. Here is a mix of beautiful
"Valisere" lingerie in a video by Fashion TV:

Smoking sucks – but smoke looks sexy like in this clip

Another excellent work of Cafe Glow: Brenna in "Don't Explain 2". Even
though I am a happy non-smoker, I have to admit that smoke really looks
sexy like in this video.

Alley Cat covers by Frauke Fischer

Alley

It's quiet around "Alley Cat" the magazine for erotic by and for women.
I am wondering when their next issue comes out. In the meantime I
recommend the porftolio of Frauke Fischer who shot some covers with
gorgeous "kiss lips" (made up by Sandra Stehmann) for Alley Cat.

Ok, it's live now. It's a band with a new track. You can download it for
free. The music video is somewhat sexy:

Video clip "LIVE ART! VOL 1" by Studio Cesarine

What an excellent video clip. The creation of an art piece. I really
like to work with real materials in my works, too. I used to colour a
lot of accessoiries. Maybe I should body paint also in the future.
