Servus und Grüß Gott… This weeks Monday night studio shoot based around the Dirndl. A dirndl [ˈdɪʁndl̩] is a type of traditional dress worn in Germany, especially Bavaria Liechtenstein, Austria, and South Tyrol. To keep things authentic dirndl designer Dianna Jones modelled her own outfits, and Austrian photographer Christian joined me for the shoot.
My Monday night studio project keeps rolling on … this Time I shot with one of my favourite photographers and long time friend Arpad. We haven’t actually shot together in years and last ime the police turned up, but that is a story for another day. Lisa was there doing here make up magic again and a special thanks to *Nadschi* for her fantastic modelling.
I’m not going to say a lot in this post just a few recent photos of “My Crew” and a few fun photos….
I’ve been wanting to do some Steampunk for a while but after watching Iron Sky I added Dieselpunk to my wish list. PanicSona contacted me and said she was interested in doing something similar so I asked Amalsia if she would like to join me in the studio. Combining PanicSona costumes with my props we had more then enough stuff to shoot both styles.
After experimenting with these genres a bit I’m really excited about doing more of shoots like this in the future.

I’ve been waiting for you, Obi-wan. We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the master
How often do you get a chance to photograph Darth Vader in the studio… I have defiantly started this year off to a great start when it comes to themed photo-shoots
First shoot of the year is a shoot I have been planing for a while now. I found some amazing masquerade masks online some time around November last year but I didn’t want to invest so much with out actually seeing them.
I found a few located in a local costume rental that i could have cheaper then normal, so now it was time to plan the shoot.
Steve has an alter ego… Strider the ranger of the north. I found photos of Steve on an internet portal and was impressed with his costume. I asked if he would model for me as I had several ideas in the back of my head for a while now, and before I knew it we were in the studio. Knowing that the “Jedi Girl” would be interested in a shoot like this I asked her to join.

This time the Friday night shoot was called Apocalipstick, it was a kind of mix up of a variety of themes e.g Kill Bill, Tank-Girl, Serenity, Sucker-Punch etc. My concept behind the look for the models was “I want you… I want to kill you”
Original last Friday night was planed part 2 of the Star Wars project. But unfortunately Darth Vader was sick. I asked Nora if she had time for an impromptu shoot. I’ve had some lighting ideas in the back of my head for a while so this was the perfect chance to test them out.

Markus and Jana from Saberproject were in the studio last Friday. The Saber Project is a Star Wars re-enactment troop that specialise in the high art of light-saber fighting (if you look at their website you will lots of video example).
Your father’s light saber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times… before the Empire.- Obi-Wan
