another portrait

Happy holidays. 

I photographed Naomi last month. 

I was not sure of this photo. Her hair.........................

I no longer grow boobs or erase moustache. 

I leave most of it all there. 

Over here, her skin is 100% raw fresh straight out from the pixel catcher. 

Sure, darkroom can change stuff. But take a look. 

It's her natural skin. No retouch.

申し訳ない。こんなブログで。
申し訳ない。ググって何か違うものを期待していたんだろう？

ファ💮ク。アイムソーソリー。

まぁ寄ってきなさい。アングラとかに興味はないかい？


I'm presenting my layers cuz I'm a geek.

Layering is simple because I put all my layers in multiply, screen and soft light.
I change all RGB on all my 3 curves (dodging, burning and contrast layers) so that I can tune color and brightness at the same time. With these 3 layers at 3 different blend modes, you can control all 3 axis of color; hue, tone and saturation.
After I mask, I basically cut time and effort by 9 times approximately.
My soft-light neutral layer is for detailing. ("Layer 1")

That's all it should take when everything goes well. ;)

NEW NEW ONE

Naomi Sundberg, 2015

I guess this one is done.

Why am I in NY?

I get this question a lot.

I have to say destiny guided me since 3.11.

I was sm=king as usual in Thailand's jungle one day.
As the beach nursed my beaten soul from my former French boss, another beach washed my people away up north.

I said to myself.

"Wah lau, it's like the start of the end of the world."

I am sure I wasn't alone.

Naomi wears her choice with Chanel (which is not shown lol)

September hit me and it was around the start of the 6th day of the 9th cycle in the Mayan calendar. 

As night turned into day, consequences start to hit me hard. 

I said to myself again.

"Wah lau, this calendar really works! Rock!"

Within few days, I held a ticket in my hand with prosperity. So I took advantage of my consequences, like, having a girl to shoot, making stupid mistakes and accidentally extending my stay from 4 days to 1 month, having many couches to sleep on, and some people to meet. 

Wah lau..... drifting lah. 

But I always say to myself. 

There seems to be many reasons as hundreds, though there is only one true reason for myself. 

Hence, I say to myself. 

"why care?"
