Japanese Fashion And Lingerie Model Beach Photoshoot At Night

Sandy Beach Park on the Windward side of Oahu was the location for this night photoshoot with a young Japanese model.

Doing bikini and lingerie model photography at night offers a few comforting and exciting elements.
There are no people staring, no hot sun blazing down and casting undesirable shadows, the harsh flash being the only source of light creates drama and paparazzi like invasive feel.

Also the pitch black background makes the main subject really stand out adding an intriguing black space to the photos.

Japanese Fashion Model In White Mini Dress

We started with a cute white cocktail mini dress in front of a lava rock wall; usually minimal direction is given to the model to lessen the chances for fake and uncomfortable poses. I like to have the location inspire the model which in turn will inspire me.

Hawaiian Rainforest Photos Of Beautiful Chinese Lingerie Model

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.

Asian Lingerie And Fashion Model Photos From Waikiki Zanzabar Night Club

Jenny is one of my most favorite Asian models to photograph in Hawaii and because she is a Go-Go dancer at the famous Zanzabar Night Club in Waikiki she arranged for us to get access to do a photoshoot before opening.

Jenny she has an amazing face, just stunning, she can look very different from different angles and under varying lighting conditions.

The night club being closed meant we did not have much light inside so a Nikon flash unit was assisting with illumination.

Having the flash unit attached to the camera has advantages besides it’s obvious disadvantages. I like to utilize the harshness of the light coming from the flash, to me it has a paparazzi like intrusive effect adding realism and drama to the photos.

Here Jenny’s beautiful face is being framed by a vibrant white and red trucker hat and her cascading hair. The professional makeup completes the color palette. The lips are sensual, the look is seductive and because of the shadow under the hat’s visor the photo gains drama as well.

BW Asian Bikini Lingerie Model Photos In Tropical Rainforest

Jen is a beautiful Asian exotic bikini and fashion model who is also a surfer.
Shooting with a surfer / model means she is has an athletic, toned, healthy body and a relaxed, easy going personality which are excellent ingredients for a fun and successful photography session.

The peaceful and intimate setting was in the Pali rainforest just outside Honolulu an excellent diverse and exotic location which I instantly became a fan of and have used several times.

This post contains a set of black and white images which I find especially dramatic compared to their color versions.
Black and white conversion often adds class and drama to photos and but when it comes to tropical locations and exotic models in my eyes this added drama is a lot more pronounced.

Not all photos can be automatically converted to B&W and expected to work; without a “certain amount” of necessary shapes and contrast the results will not be acceptable.

The first photo is minimalistic in its concept, taken during the first few minutes of the photoshoot, clearly during the initial period of getting comfortable with the camera and surroundings.
The background is carefully selected complementing the shape and the pose of the model, more specifically the angles of the limbs.
