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’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
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”

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
I’ve been doing the Friday night shoots part of the lightGIANTS for about 2 years (with the exception of one or 2 shoots). This time we were shooting a CD cover for a “Belle Époque” Trio.

I was in Munich all last week and meet up with some great people from the “Flickr Munich Photo Walk” group (but more about that another day). I got back late Friday night just in time for the “Last Friday of the month shoot” at the lightGIANTS studio.
Laura need some photos for her portfolio, she is applying for several acting schools around the world and needed to show several different looks.
I have been organising the Friday night shoots in the lightGIANTS studio for about a year now. And every time I announce one it amazes me how quick they are booked out. Last month Nadine and Speedy from Zumba Events were in the studio doing their thing.
