Hawaiian Rainforest Photos Of Beautiful Chinese Lingerie Model
December 31, 2005
What better way to spend the last day of the year than a lingerie photo shoot in the exotic tropical Pali rainforest just outside Honolulu, Hawaii.
The beautiful Asian model is Sylvia, my muse for many great projects.
I tried to incorporate the relaxed and intimate jungle setting with my usual natural photo taking approach which means not trying too hard to portray the model overly sexual, too posed, fake or obvious.
This method also puts the model at ease, along with the untouched beauty of the location.
I use the technique of taking photos through branches and high grass sparingly but I believe it works here. It is not overdone and putting some distance between camera and model created a nice depth of field via the blurred background which resulted in a 3D effect.
I am aware there are a lot more provocative model poses that can be struck but that is not my style. Not only I find those cheap shots but also most first time or amateur models do not feel comfortable with them and the resulting photo would be useless anyways.
Also when trust between model and photographer is broken (or never established) the eyes of the model will never lie giving an uncomfortable feel to the photos making them once again useless.
Fortunately this was never the case between Sylvia and I, we always had a great chemistry which shows in the pictures.
A soft focus effect gives this lingerie / portrait photo a beautiful intimate feel. The model’s head was purposefully placed next to the hanging vines of the huge banyan tree so they would be in harmony with her hair. Props are everywhere in the jungle once you have an open mind and eyes.
