* A little tip on the creme brulee - action: Play the creme brulee action and set the layer to soft light, play with the opacity and enjoy a porcelain creamy skin ;)
Split toning set, new photoshop action, you will not need anything else as the finishing touch of your photos!

It was a crazy day yesterday since the moment I woke up at 5.30 in the morning without no reason to get off bed so early. I just wasn't sleepy anymore [first time in my life, I must be getting old lol].
After many days we had a sunny beautiful weather so we wanted to do the shooting outdoors, it wasn't so cold after all, but... Natasha [the model in the photo] got stuck everywhere, on the bus, on the train, it just wasn't her day :) And she arrived 2 hours before sunset. We had to fix the make-up and dothe styling and I was yelling and all grunchy but we managed somehow.
By 9 at the evening I was completely closed as a mind and as a human ...
In case you'd like to check more on this shooting visit my Flickr

This set contains actions
HAVE FUN :)))
The model is Tina, photo and edit by me a couple of months ago. You can check the older version here.
The good thing is that we were really comfortable here at home,the bad thing is that my studio flash is causing me some problems and I was really tired of trying to get the light right and the way I wanted, so this time I threw many shots in the trash bin :(
Emilly came yesterday and spent the night here at me. We had a great time, laughs, she is a great company and when it comes to shooting she is a fantastic model. She doesn't need any guidance but even when you tell her what to do she does it in her own better way.
I'll upload some more of this session in a few days. These are samples on what we did just for our fun.

Most of all HAVE FUN :)))
Gandor is my 5 months old dog, for those who don't know it.. yet. And he will pass the night to the vet clinic :(
Why? Because as a young boy as he is, he eats EVERYTHING!!! And when I say everything, I mean it!!! He ate: a key chain, a small towel and I really don't know what else when I wasn't home. So he can't digest these things so he has to stay in without no food at all, only fluids, serum and medicines to make him vomit [is this the right word? I don't know].
In case his organism will not be able to get rid of this stuff in 48 hours the vet will have to operate him :(
He has 80% chances to digest and 20% to be operated.
The good thing in all this is that I saw that on time so he has no real life threatening problem. His blood exams were perfect and he is very young so his organism is really strong.
But my poor boy is all alone in a small cage so he can't move and eat the serum as well... It's the first time he stays alone all night and it's the first time [that I'm home] and he is not sleeping next to my bed :(
Lussy, my other dog searches all over the house to find him [and I thought she didn't like him at all].
Anyway, it's a sad night in here...
Played with some old photos today, I found almost 50 long lost files that I love [I don't really know why I haven't seen them before].
I am preparing some textures for you... in a few days they will be ready hopefully :)
Some photos I had in my pockets from Toronto, just for my fun.
I didn't do the shooting because I decided to relax in my room, buy my holiday gifts and just be on my own 
[a really rare thing to do!!!].
I made some decisions for the new year. I always do that, but not always succesfully I mean I never had a success on quiting smoke so i didn't make this decision for now, I just know I don't want to... yet!
My new year's resolutions for those interested :
1. Quit on a never ending relationship which leads nowhere... and move on!
2. Start a serious diet and loose those 5 kilos [that's about 10 pounds] that seem stuck on me this last year.
3. Earn more money!!! Nothing else to add on that. i just need more money.
4. Start training again at the gym.
5. Change my profession. I am forced to leave my flight attendant profession as Olympic airlines will be sold and none of us will stay "on board". Since I am already 41 years old and I just can't fly forever [it's not healthy], I decided to stick to photography as my main profession, so I have to get better to this...
6. Find the love of my life... [it seems I'm too difficult on that, since I haven't found it yet ]
And that's it. At the end of the year I'll let you know which of these decissions are completed and which not and why.
Now about decision number 3...earning more money, why don't you help me out on that by visiting my brand new store :)
