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.
We started the shoot of with bright colourful backgrounds and lots of light and beer to give thing a cheerful playful look. As the night went on we used several different lighting set ups including a ring light and several different soft boxes. Some how we ended up doing a bit of “Harry Potter” witches and wizards look, but finished the shoot off with a tricolour set up resembling the black, red, and gold of the German flag.
