|kill bill - vol. 1| by Marco Dirscherl Via Flickr: **** EXPLORED May 8th, 2012 **** Model: Theresa Bodypainter: Tobias Kramer (de-de.facebook.com/tobystuff) Greetings, my fellow Flickrees! I know this might come as a surprise to you but yes, I'm still alive and kicking! And taking photographs again. Obviously. :-) This one's the result of a collaboration with DJ and Bodypainter Toby. He's got hell of a talent and we will be working together again soon. He came up with this idea when we first met. He wanted to do a Kill Bill bodypaint and asked me if I could shoot and retouch it. He even provided the Hattori Hanzo replica. Poor Theresa had to sit and stand still for nearly 5 hours. The photo shoot itself took about 1,5 hours. As you might have noticed I've been on a creative break lately. After finishing my 52 weeks project I hardly felt the urge to pick up my camera again. But since drama group was put on a hold for this year, I started to think about doing some bigger photo projects. And then my fellow photographer Andi came up with this intriguing idea for a calendar and asked me to get involved. It's called "Painted Heroes 2013", which means there's superheroes involved so I needn't give it a second thought *g*. For me, it's the biggest collaboration so far with 2 other photographers, one bodypainter and about 8 stylists / visagists. I ended up doing 4 of the 12 calendar sheets, including concept, shooting and processing. Right now we're choosing the models and shooting starts by the end of May. The whole project is covered by the local media and I can't tell you how excited I am about it! I don't know if or when I'll be able to post some results here on Flickr, but at least you will get to see some behind the scenes shots. Stay tuned! :-) Strobist info: One Yongnuo YN560 at 1/2 power zoomed to 50 mm shot through a Westcott umbrella from high left. One Nissin Di866 at 1/2 power zoomed to 50 mm shot through a Westcott umbrella from low left (makes two aligned umbrellas, one on top of the other). One flagged LumoPro LP120 at 1/4 power zoomed to 24 mm from back left for some rimlight. All flashes were fired by Cactus V4 radio triggers.

|painted heroes - the flash| by Marco Dirscherl Via Flickr: Model: Peter Gerlesberger Bodypainter: Tobias Kramer (de-de.facebook.com/tobystuff) Fellow Flickrees! I know it's been an awfully long time since I've last been seen here on Flickr. But I can assure you I'm still alive and kicking. And as you can see I'm still into photography and creative editing. As a matter of fact, I've been quite busy throughout the past year. I've been working with a large creative team, consisting of 3 photographers (including myself), one bodypainter and a bunch of stylists and visagists to create a promo-calendar called "Painted Heroes 2013". Even a casting took place, and we had to choose our male and female models out of almost 90 applications from Germany and Austria. I had carte blance regarding the concept and execution of 4 out of 12 motives for the final calendar. Countless hours went into 8 seperate photoshootings, bodypainting, styling and a huge amount of photshopping, to bring my visions to life. The whole process was covered by local media and we had a huge amount of publicity. And last but not least, we had a BLAST creating the final product. I'm proud to finally being able to present you the results of my work, that extended over almost a year of my life. I will upload the remaining 3 pictures in the coming weeks. It feels so good to be back. Cheers Marco

MCM begins today and I am running around nervous damn
