Vogue Arabia December 2021 Backstage photos and some videos that you can see from my Instagram account which I linked here. For this shoot, I used the light painting technique. This technique is also called the long exposure technique. I am not the first person to use this technique in fashion photography. Before me, the Italian Photographer Paolo Roversi used it.

Vogue Arabia December 2021 Backstage and Lighting

As a light source, I used a torch that I landed from our building housemaster, Oliver Dürbye. Oliver was a nice person. During the time I was in my Studio in Dahlem-Berlin, every time he supported me. When we were talking, he was telling me that one day I will be a Famous Photographer in the world. Unfortunately, in September 2023 he passed away, and I was so sad about it.

I studied art and worked in the photography market since the year 2000. That’s why I have a deep knowledge of lighting in photography and Videography. Sometimes I share my lighting diagrams with young photographers to help them and show them how to use artificial Light. Sometimes I meet photographers who call themselves natural light photographers, sadly I have to say this kind of photographer doesn’t have lighting knowledge, which is why they are trying to hide it by shooting outside. Anyway, I will give you more information about this photo shoot, for long-exposure photography, the camera should be on a tripod. I used my Manfrotto tripod. Bedside Digital photos I take some photos with my Large format Camera 4×5.

Kris Gottschalk was our model from Iconic Management. The Fashion stylist was Hercules Terres. Hercules is a Brazilian Fashion Stylist Living in Berlin-Germany, He started his career as a makeup artist in the cinema industry. Israel Alcantara did the makeup for this editorial. For this shoot, I used the Light Painting Photography technique, because of this technique I had to cut all the ambient light.
