Frosty Portraits: Capturing Winter Charm in the Park

NasarAlam — Sat, 21 Jan 2023 20:00:22 +0000

Upon my arrival in Tilburg I was welcomed with several days of harsh weather. It was raining almost all the time but I decided to have a shoot anyways. It was just my luck that on the very day I was supposed to have shoot with Alexandra there was thick icesheet covering whole of Tilburg due to intense snowfall and followed by extreme cold the next day. Still we decided to stick by the plan and continue with our photoshoot. Fast forward to the results we had some of the best frosty portraits that really expressed our ideas best.

It was the beauty of the day that almost all the portraits we took complimented the nature. There were several reasons why we though it was extremely cool that we decided to work. The first and foremost reason was Alexandra comes from Sweden so it was quite natural for her to be in snow. But at the same time she explained her trouble with depression and sorrows that she needed to deal with which was quite heart breaking but her smiling in the weather was somewhat a reflection of her smiling through the life.

The shoot overall was a perfect combination of concept expression and nature.

Beach Encounter Sparks Photoshoot

NasarAlam — Sun, 29 Aug 2021 21:00:03 +0000

During the summer of 2021, I was spending a lot of time on the beach of Barcelona. Most of the time I was working on the beach on my thesis but sometimes I would stop working and start capturing pictures of the beautiful view that was in front of me. One of these days I encountered a filmmaker from Paris named Manal. For a while we had a nice conversation, upon showing her my work, as the saying goes an artist recognizes another artist Manal and I decided to go for a very spontaneous photoshoot and hence a beach encounter sparks photoshoot out of nowhere.

As the sun started rising, we decided to use the first light of the sunrise to our advantage. Just as soon as I went into the water, I realized it was the coldest water I have ever conducted a photoshoot in. Not only was I shivering but at the same time I could feel the pressure of waves because I was extremely cold. We took a few shots but as I could feel it, it was already taking a toll on me, so we decided to stop. Nonetheless, we were able to capture some impressive shots.

Sunrise by the Seashore: A Captivating and Sensual Beach Photoshoot

NasarAlam — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 20:00:46 +0000

While the shoot with Zowie had the direction to keep it sensual and as someone who has worked and created content for a sensual shoot, I knew that mystery could play a great role when it comes to sensuality. Hence, we created some silhouettes to go with the photoshoot. The sensual beach photoshoot took place in Barcelona early in the moring before at the time of sunrise.

Creating silhouettes is one of my favourite types of photo art. I started creating silhouettes accidentally while taking pictures of my friends at sunset. It was a bit of a shameful moment at first because the idea wasn’t to take silhouettes, but one of my good friends approached me and said how he likes the result because it has a very artistic effect. Even though I initially liked the picture, it was not until I heard these comments that I was confident enough to say it out loud.

Since the day every now and then whenever I can create a silhouette, I take advantage of the situation and capture a few. It’s not necessary that you need idea situations to create silhouettes all you need is an overexposed background and underexposed subject and finally set your camera manual to get the best results.

Beach Day Shower

While I was in Barcelona, I made an effort to take advantage of the golden hour, even though it was difficult for me as a self-professed lazy person to wake up early. Despite this, I managed to do so on occasion and had a particularly successful shoot with Zowie, a model turned singer. When I first contacted Zowie, she had already completed many professional shoots, so we mutually agreed to work together as it was a beneficial arrangement for both of us. During the shoot, Zowie contributed several innovative ideas that greatly contributed to its success. The shoot was a proper beach day which ended with a beach day shower for both of us.

In the world of photography, capturing beauty is often about finding the perfect contrast. That’s exactly what we achieved in our latest photoshoot, where we featured a red rose among nature. The nature added a captivating contrast to the picture highlighting our solitary beauty of the red rose amidst the nature. The model Xelia perfectly played her role in the photoshoot and made herself standout just as I imagined when I conceptualized the idea.

After the floral set and the picture with a little but of fashion touch we decided to move forward to explore more sensual domain of the the photography and as the the photoshoot progressed everything got sexier.

A Ramp in Nature

During my one of my shoot in Stockholm Sweden, we came across a path that was surrounded by nature. The tree and grass in the surrounding created an ambience that was perfect in many ways and luckily we had the proper dress to go with the situation. As soon as I saw the location the I started thinking in my mind that this is what a ramp in nature will look like. Luckily Sapphire the model with me was very much into the idea that I brough forward and honestly she slayed the ramp walk.

Fun With Nature

During my stay in Stockholm, I was following a chef on Instagram because of her exceptional presentational skills. One day I was coming up with some ideas for the photoshoot, while my initial idea was totally different and I contacted Alison for a cooking-oriented shoot. But after our conversation, the plan went 180 degrees and she wanted to try the kind of photography I was used to. Hence, we decided it would be best for us to have fun with nature in our photoshoot.

When we met for the photoshoot, we had just one thing in mind: we were going to do the shoot in Nature. As soon as we met, we started having a really nice conversation and one thing led to another. Alison had a spirit of exploring things that helped her explore more and more concepts of photography and we decided to try everything possible at the instant. No wonder the results came out extremely artistic and natural.

Rue de la Mode Bordeaux

NasarAlam — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 20:00:38 +0000

Picture yourself in Bordeaux, the renowned city of wine, with a stunning model named Alice by your side elegantly dressed. Strolling through the streets and looking at the scene reminded me of the famous French phrase “Rue de la Mode,” or Fashion Street. This photoshoot was one of my first in France, born out of boredom and a desire to capture the city’s charm. I met Alice at Place des Quinconces, we explored the city center and Jardin Public, where her background in winery and tourism made the experience feel like a guided tour.

Bringing Darkness to Light

NasarAlam — Sun, 05 Jan 2020 18:00:00 +0000

When I met Matilda for the photo shoot it was going to be very simplistic, but the biggest hurdle was my theme has always been bright and heart-warming while Matilda’s portfolio was centric on being dark and moody. Funnily even though our artistic preferences were north and south our humour and personalities were quite alike which made it very easy for us to work together. During the shoot, I tried to experiment with assimilating dark and moody vibes into my own way of photography thus bringing darkness to light. This was also the first time I finally made a dark and moody edit for someone.
