Audition Photoshoot with Mariana Gasperin
I had the pleasure of doing an "audition" photoshoot with Mariana Gasperin.
Mariana comes from the South of Brazil. She studied ballet there at Porto Alegre and then at Canada's National Ballet School. Two years ago she joined the Junior Ballett in Zürich, Switzerland.

First, we took a few classical pictures for her upcoming auditions. Then we tried out some more artistic lighting setups and non-classical poses. I am thankful to keep working on my ballet photography and photo lighting.
Black Forest Baritone Jaco Venter
Jaco is a baritone and has performed on stages in the USA, Germany and South Africa. He made for an interesting photo model, he is very energetic and almost has a bit of an intimidating, masculine look. He has a great sense of humour and it was "lekker" for me to speak Afrikaans again with him.
A fellow South African living in Germany, Jaco Venter, asked me if I would take photos of him for his new personal website.

For a backdrop he suggested the Frauenalb ruins in the Black Forest, just a stone's throw from where he lives. The monastery has red sandstone walls, which created a lovely, almost medieval setting for the photos.
